Nephrotic syndrome: what's new, what's hot?

چکیده
While the incidence of nephrotic syndrome (NS) is decreasing in Korea, the morbidity of difficult-to-treat NS is significant. Efforts to minimize treatment toxicity showed that prolonged treatment after an initial treatment for 2-3 months with glucocorticosteroids was not effective in reducing frequent relapses. For steroid-dependent NS, rituximab, a monoclonal antibody against the CD20 antigen on B cells, was proven to be as effective, and short-term daily low-dose steroids during upper respiratory infections reduced relapses. Steroid resistance or congenital NS are indications for genetic study and renal biopsy, since the list of genes involved in NS is lengthening.

Despite its identification in 1997, the functions of the MEN1 gene-the main gene underlying multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome-are not yet fully understood. In addition, unlike the RET-MEN2 causative gene-no hot-spot mutational areas or genotype-phenotype correlations have been identified. More than 1,300 MEN1 gene mutations have been reported and are mostly "private" (family specific...
