Abstract
Glomerulonephritis is one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease in Nigeria. The pattern of glomerulonephritisis said to be different from other parts of the world which can be attributed to the prevalence of APOL1 gene in the blackpopulation and prevalence of tropical diseases. Treating glomerulonephritis in Nigeria can be challenging due to poorawareness and understanding of the disease, limited access to health care facility and lack of trained nephrologist. Possiblesolutions to this problems include creating awareness and education of the populace, partnering with NGOs to subsidizetreatment and training of Nephrologist.
