BACKGROUND: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the pathological characteristics of @entity740 in the Tibet plateau and the plain. METHODS: 77 cases from the Tibet plateau and 154 cases from the plain of renal biopsied @entity1 with @entity740 were compared in a randomized, and parallel controlled manner. Pathological characteristics were defined according to the standards of WHO and associated classifications. RESULTS: The ration of sex was shown that most of @entity1 in the plateau region were female, whereas those in the plain were male. The characteristics of pathological types were shown that the @entity1 in the plateau region were primarily minimal change disease, but @entity8 was rare; meanwhile, the proportional @entity1988 ( @entity1988 ) ratio of the secondary @entity631 in the plateau region was significantly lower than those in the plain region. CONCLUSIONS: The current data demonstrated that the most common @entity8 in the Tibet Plateau region is still the primary @entity631 as the same as those in the plain region. However, the primary @entity8 in the plateau region is minimal change disease, and the most common clinical manifestations are the @entity1985 . The @entity8 in the plain is the most frequent disease. In terms of the secondary @entity8 , Henoch-Schnolein purpura @entity1310 are dominated in the plateau region, whereas @entity1988 are frequently found in the plain. There is a statistical significance existed between those two groups.
