Abstract
Background: Nephropathy is a major cause of end stage kidney failure patients caused by glomerular and non glomerular diseases. The study aimed at assessing the description of nephropathy after nephrectomy by the age, gender, clinical syndrome, cause, urinalysis findings, and histopathology findings.
Materials and Methods: We reviewed medical records of nephropathy after nephrectomy patients by age, gender, clinical syndrome, cause, urinalysis findings, and histopathology findings in Arifin Achmad Regional General Hospital, Pekanbaru, Riau Province, Indonesia in January 2011 – Desember 2017. Statistical analysis of univariate was used. Approval on the study was obtained from the Ethical Review Board for Medicine and Health Research, Medical Faculty, University of Riau.
Results:There were 58 patients in this study. The result showed that nephropathy after nephrectomy patients were mostly (58.6%) in 40-59 year old age group and most frequent (53.4%) in males. The most frequent (48.3%) clinical syndromes were chronic glomerulonephritis. The most (63.8%) causes were non-glomerular diseases. Most frequent urinalysis findings were microscopic haematuria in 39.7% patients and proteinuria (+2) in 31.7% patients. The most frequent histopathologic finding was interstitial fibrosis in 66.7% patients.
Conclusions: Microscopic haematuria and proteinuria (+2) were the most frequent urinalysis findings while interstitial fibrosis was the most frequent histopathology findings in nephropathy patients.
