Renal histology patterns in a prospective study of nephrology clinics in Lagos, Nigeria.

CONCLUSION: The findings from this study highlight the role that renal biopsy plays in making a concrete diagnosis in nephrology practice in a developing country like Nigeria. As almost 80% of the study population was made up of patients with FSGS and lupus nephritis, it remains to be determined by further studies among our patients, the role that Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL 1) gene mutation will play in the etiology of renal diseases in Nigeria.
