title: [The incidence of kidney diseases in a pediatric kidney dispensary].
abstract: 400 children (141 boys and 259 girls) in a renal disease care system were analyzed regarding their most frequent diagnoses of renal diseases and their age and sex distribution. Furthermore, the familiary situation, the time of observation, the number of consultations and the frequency of morphological changes of the kidney and the urinary tract were examined. 72% of the children suffered from urinary tract infection and in 10% a glomerulopathy and in 5.5% an urolithiasis were found. The symptoms of enuresis occurred in 22.2% of the patients. Infants were the most frequent age group (18%), 70% of which were boys. We found no differences in the incidence of renal diseases in comparison with other reports.
