INTRODUCTION: Currently, the elderly population of Brazil is suffering significant increase. Aging is a physiological process that causes changes in various organs, including the kidney. A kidney biopsy is of paramount importance to clarify the morphological changes of these entities. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this work was to conduct a clinical epidemiological analysis of elderly @entity1 and evaluate the prevalence of major @entity8 that affect. METHODS: This is a retrospective and descriptive, with a review of 104 reports of renal biopsies of elderly aged over 60 years, performed in the Nefropatologia Federal University of Tri  ngulo Mineiro (UFTM), between periods January 1996 and December 2010. @entity1 were grouped according to clinical syndrome. RESULTS: We reviewed 104 biopsies of elderly @entity1 . Of these, 52.94% were male. The @entity101 was found in 50.54% of @entity1 . The clinical syndrome was the predominant @entity1985 (42.17%). Most disease was glomerular origin. The @entity8 was the most prevalent (34.07%). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: Through this review, we noted that the @entity1985 was the main clinical syndrome and Podocytophaties @entity8 were more prevalent in the group of elderly @entity1 undergoing renal biopsy. The analysis of renal biopsies of elderly @entity1 is of paramount importance, since knowledge of the clinical manifestations of major @entity8 that affect this group, to assist in establishing the diagnosis and therapeutic management.
