Statistical analysis of renal inpatients admitted to the department of pediatric ward of Chungnam National University Hospital from 1978 to 1988 was performed according to their annual incidence of each disease, disease pattern, and age distribution.
Renal diseases were found in 628(6.16％) among 10,194 total inpatients from 1978 to 1988. Male to famale ratio of renal disease was 1.99 to l.
Annual incidence of acute glomerulonephritis was decreased but no significant change was noted in the incidence of nephrotic syndrome and urinary tract infection.
Acute glomerulonephritis was the leading cause of admission in all age groups and it constituted 28.82％ of total renal patients. It was followed by nephrotic syndrome (23.24％), urinary tract infection (16.56％). Wilms´ tumor (7.64％), Henoch-Schonlein nephritis (6.21％), and recurrent hematuria (4.45％)
Urinary tract infection showed relatively high incidence in infancy and acute glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome were high in older age group.
Renal diseases were most frequently found in 7-9 years old age group. Chronic renal failure and recurrent hematuria were relatively frequent in over 12 years old age group.
