Objectives: The aim of this study is to find outcome of the primary glomerular diseases and secondary glomerular diseases in a duration of complete one year follow ups. Methodology: This is an observational research work conducted in Nishter Hospital Multan. We collected all the data on a Performa. We included all the patients present with the dipstick positive proteinuria and the presence of the glomerular disease. All the patients without proteinuria and the patients in the Stage-5 of chronic kidney disease were not the part of this research work. We followed up all the patients for proteinuria and insufficiency of the renal function for complete one year. SPSS V.16 was in use for the statistical analysis of the collected information. Result: There were total 173 patients who completed the complete one year of follow up. The average age of the patients was 51.67 ± 10.16 with a range from fifteen to seventy-five years. There were 53.20% (n: 92) male and 46.80% (n: 81) female patients in this research work. The average body weight of the patients was 67.43 ± 14.13 Kg with a range from thirty to one hundred and seven kilograms. The most common reason of the glomerular disease in the patients of this research work was diabetic nephropathy which was present in 94.20% patients. The most common related issue with the glomerular disease was HTN (Hypertension) which was present in 66.50% of patients. Out of total 173 patients, 4 patients were in Stage-5 of chronic kidney disease at the end of follow up period of one year whereas proteinuria was same at the end of complete one year. Conclusion: The follow up for one year is very critical for the patients suffering from glomerular complications related with the Stage-4 of chronic kidney disease as development to the end stage kidney failure may be observe in one year in these subjects.
