Key Points

The aim is to evaluate renal biopsy characteristics in patients with non-lupus rheumatic diseases.
Analyzed renal biopsies from patients with non-lupus rheumatic diseases at a university hospital.
Examined the frequency of specific nephropathies like amyloidosis, FSGS, and IGA nephropathy.
Amyloidosis was found in 61.3% of patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF).
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) prevalence was 47.1% in patients with Behçet's Disease (BD).
IGA nephropathy was identified in 35.7% of patients with Psoriatic Arthritis (PsO).

Abstract

= 0.003). The frequency of amyloidosis was higher in the FMF group with 61.3%, FSGS was higher in the BD group with 47.1%, and IGA nephropathy was higher in the PsO group with 35.7%. The characteristics of renal involvement in rheumatic diseases differ depending on the underlying disease. Close monitoring of renal functions and performing biopsy when necessary are critically important in these patients.
