Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by the
progressive loss of nephron function. In Brazil, considering all stages of
the disease, it is estimated that there are between 3 and 6 million people
with CKD. The main causes of CKD worldwide are diabetes mellitus (DM)
and arterial hypertension (AH), followed by glomerulopathies. Objectives:
To demonstrate the contributions of the most common glomerulopathies
of nephrotic evolution to chronic kidney disease at any stage by means of
an integrative literature review. Methodology: This is an integrative
literature review. Articles related to children with nephrotic syndrome were
excluded from the selection. Results and discussion: After reading the
abstracts, 5 articles were selected for analysis and development of this
review. The studies described various glomerulopathies, including
segmental and focal glomerulosclerosis, minimal lesion disease, IgA
glomerulopathy and membranous glomerulopathy. Conclusion: In
general, the most common glomerulopathies in the studies were
segmental and focal glomerulosclerosis, followed by minimal lesion
disease.
