Background. We report the first large renal biopsy-based clinicopathologic study on obesity-related glomerulopathy.Methods. Obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m(2) Obesity-related glomerulopathy (ORG) was defined morphologically as-focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and glomerulomegaly (O-FSGS; N = 57) or glomerulomegaly alone (O-GM; N = 14);Results. Review of 6818 native renal biopsies received from 1986 to 2000 revealed a progressive increase in biopsy incidence of ORG from 0.2% in 1986-1990 to 2.0% in 1996-2000 (P = 0.0001). Mean BMI in ORG was 41.7 (range 30.9 to 62.7). Indications for genal biopsy included proteinuria (N = 40) or proteinuria and renal insufficiency (N = 31). Seventy-one patients with ORG were compared to 50 patients with idiopathic FSGS (I-FSGS) Patients with ORG were older (mean 42.9 vs. 32.6 frears, P < 0.001) and more often Caucasian (75% vs. 52%; P = 0.003). ORG patients had a lower incidence of nephrotic range proteinuria (48% vs. 66%; P = 0.007) and nephrotic syndrome(5.6% vs 54%; P < 0.001), with higher serum albumin (3.9 vs. 2.9 g/dL; P
