Glomerular diseases in the elderly in India.

Abstract:

:Three hundred fifteen (315) elderly (> or = 60 years) patients with clinical renal diseases were evaluated for the evidence of glomerular diseases between November 1998 to June 2002. Glomerular diseases (GN) were observed in 20.6% (65/315) of the elderly patients. The age of the patients (male 56; female 9) ranged between 60-90 (mean 64.17 +/- 3.83) years. The clinical presentation of GN included: nephrotic syndrome 40 (61.5%), acute nephritic syndrome 19 (29.2%), rapidly progressive GN 4 (6.15%) and asymptomatic urinary abnormality 2 (3.0%). Overall, primary and secondary glomerular disease were seen in 47 (72.3%) and 18 (27.6%) elderly patients respectively. Idiopathic membranous nephropathy was the most common GN responsible for nephrotic syndrome in 11 (27.5%) of elderly patients. Diabetic Nephropathy related to type 2 diabetes mellitus was the second common cause 9 (22.5%) of nephrotic syndrome. Amyloidosis was noted in 6 (15%) patients. Nephrotic syndrome was related to leprosy in one patient. Amyloidosis occurred in association with multiple myeloma in 5 and carcinoma colon in 1 patient. Thus, primary and secondary GN were responsible for nephrotic syndrome in 60% and 40% of cases respectively. Endocapillary proliferative GN of post infectious etiology was the most prevalent (82.6%) form of acute GN in our elderly patients. Hypertension occurred in 78.2% of cases and edema in 69.5%. Pulmonary congestion (52.2%) and ARF (73.9%) were the dominant presenting feature of acute GN and 39% of patients required dialytic support. Glomerular crescents were seen in 4 (17.4%) patients with acute glomerulonephritis. Pauci-immune crescentic GN which is the commonest type of acute GN in the elderly in western countries was not observed in this study. Renal biopsy revealed mesangiocapillary GN (1) and mesangioproliferative GN (1) in two patients with asymptomatic urinary abnormalities. Thus, overall spectrum of glomerular disease in the Indian elderly population is similar to that of developed countries except in two ways: (1) post infectious endocapillary proliferative-GN was the commonest type of acute GN (2) rarity or absence of pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis.
