In this study, we assessed the prevalence of primary and secondary glomerulopathies based on histological diagnosis, and their correlation with demographic and clinical data were evaluated. Methods It was included in the study 1051 kidney biopsies retrospectively reviewed between the years 2000 to 2018. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data of patients were assessed. The prevalence of primary glomerulonephritis (PG) and secondary glomerulopathies (SG), as well as tubulo-interstitial diseases (TID), hereditary nephropathies (HN) and other diagnosis, were described. The frequency of primary and secondary glomerulopathies was evaluated by age group, and their temporal variation in three time periods (2000–2005, 2006–2011, and 2012–2018) were reported. Results The prevalence of SG predominated (52.4%) followed by PG (29.6%)...
