Core Tip
Core Tip: Despite the extreme relevance of the renal biopsies in patients with different clinical syndromes and the final diagnoses that are being assigned to them, the current knowledge on the epidemiology of such diagnoses for nephritic syndrome is limited. This lack of understanding becomes more prominent when it comes to specific subpopulations, for example subgroups regarding age, ethnicity and global regions. This study tried to answer these questions, finding quite unprecedented, interesting, and clinically relevant findings.
