Abstract

This paper describes a study undertaken to determine the prevalence of a family history of renal disease among patients with chronic renal disease of unknown aetiology. The results showed that 18.2% of these patients had a positive family history whereas only 6.1% of control persons investigated in a similar manner gave such a history. For hypertension the difference was less marked, 24.2% compared with 15.2%. These results indicate that renal disease occurring familially may be more common than previously thought.
