Glomerular diseases (GD) are one of the main causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD), second only to hypertensive nephrosclerosis and diabetic kidney disease. In 2019, according to the Brazilian Dialysis Survey, glomerulonephritis corresponded to 9% of the underlying CKD etiology that led the patient to dialysis. Despite this, there are few reports in the literature on epidemiological data regarding mortality from this pathology. The aim of this study was to analyze mortality due to GD in Brazil.
