The aim and objectives of the study was to determine the prevalence of renal lesions in our centre with view of evaluating the age and sex predilection. A cross sectional study of all renal lesions histologically diagnosed results were extracted from the departmental result register from 2005-2012. However, results of 2010 and 2011 were excluded from our study as they were seen to be missing. The six years result obtained was analysed using statistical format of SPSS version 16. The result obtained showed female predominance in all the years of study as evidence in 2005 with a ratio of 3:1, 2008: 4:1, 2009: 2:1, and 2012 5:1. Also the worst years affected with this lesions was age range less than 20 years as depicted in 2005(50%), 2009(55.6%) and this is closely followed by age range of 20-30 years having the highest occurrence at 2006 (42.9%); 2009(22.2%) and 2012 (40%). There is an increase female preponderance averaging 1:3 in almost all the years of the study. Also the worst age of predilection was less than 20 years and this is closely followed by 20-30 years. However, we believe if effective health insurance scheme is ensued and made accessible to all and sundry that will not only prevent the late presentation but will enhance early intervention by all experts involved in treatment of such lesions.
