title: [Idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis].
abstract: The only case of idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis seen out of 106 nephropathic patients biopsied in the two last years at the C. H. 20 de Noviembre, I.S.S.S.T.E., is reported. Twenty-six showed nephrotic syndrome not associated to systemic disease, including the present case, which gave us an incidence of 3.8% of this entity. We were impressed by the low frequency of this disease, so we made a statistical epidemiological analysis localizing it geographically based on the available medical literature. On comparing the results of these studies we confirmed that this disease is significantly low in our environment.
