Methods results present study included 32 control, steroid-sensitive cases, steroid-resistant cases aged ≤ 17 years. Serum samples were handled to check serum albumin, creatinine, calcium, total cholesterol in SSNS SRNS. Pearson’s correlation test was performed investigate the relationship between parameters. independent sample t -test done compare mean differences two parameters SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences).
