CONCLUSIONS: This report provides representative population-based data on native biopsy-proven renal diseases in the Czech Republic. Over the 18 years of nationwide biopsy survey, we noted an increase of the mean age of renal biopsy cases, an increasing proportion of elderly, and a cardinal change in biopsy technique towards ultrasonography needle guidance.
