The data were processed in Stata 16.1 Results: Of 2278 medical records, they corresponded to 1234 women and 1044 men. The most frequent primary and secondary glomerulonephritis were focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) 683 (29.98%) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). ) 434 (19.04%) respectively. Of 1644 biop...
