Abstract
The structure of the detected kidney pathology was studied according to the results of a forensic medical examination of corpses in the St. Petersburg Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination (BSME) in 2020–2021. As a result of the research, it turned out that out of the total number of all corpses that were sent by the investigative bodies for forensic medical examination to the St. Petersburg Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination over the years, kidney pathology amounted to 0.7 %. The most frequent (67 %) renal pathology leading to death were malignant kidney diseases. In the group of malignant kidney diseases, the age of the deceased was in the range of 40–90 years (with a pronounced peak of 80–90 years). The age of the majority of those who died from non-malignant kidney diseases was 50-90 years (with a pronounced peak of 80-90 years). Gender differences in the causes of death in the groups of malignant and non-malignant kidney diseases have not been established.
