چکیده
The collapsing variant of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a renal injury that may be idiopathic or associated with various factors; it is characterized by glomerular collapse, which leads to steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (NS) and progressive chronic renal failure. FSGS has not been well studied in children, in which most of the cases are idiopathic. We report six cases of the collapsing variant of FSGS in HIV-negative children who were resistant to immunosuppressive treatment. Three of the children died.

Children with Steroid-resistant Nephrotic Syndrome: a Single-Center Study
Background and Aim: Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) accounts for 10%-20% of all cases of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. These patients are at risk of developing end-stage renal disease. The aim of this study was to determine the demographic characteristics, renal biopsy findings, response to immunosuppressive treatment, and prognosis in pediatric patients with SRNS.Materials and Met...

متن کاملIdiopathic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
Idiopathic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a primary glomerular disease that essentially represents a form of chronic, progressive renal fibrosis for which there is no discernible cause. Often presenting with or eventually manifesting the nephrotic syndrome, this disease is increasing in incidence in both children and adults. Therapy continues to be a challenge, although some patie...
متن کاملCyclophosphamide in the treatment of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
Prednisone is the initial treatment of primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. However, when immunosuppressive agents in combination with steroids are used in the treatment of prednisone-dependent and prednisone-resistant patients the remission rate is variable. We report a long-term trial using cyclophosphamide (2.0 to 3.0 mg/kg body weight for 12 weeks) in combination with prednisone (1.0...
