Abstract
Autopsy survey of 110 cases of kidney specimen over a period of 2 years done in Vyedhi institute of medical science and Research centre, Department of Pathology, Bangalore. Kidney diseases are due to sequelae of primary or secondary accumulation of risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and obesity. Autopsy helps in the establishment of diagnosis and determines the cause of sudden death of known and unknown aetiology. Histopathological examination of renal tissue in autopsy gives valuable information for identifying the risk factor for various renal diseases and to monitor the disease trends.
