The management of patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome remains difficult. We repport our experience with Cyclophosphamide therapy, in an attempt to compare the results between an oral protocol and two i.v. protocols. The complete and sustained general remission rate was 43.1%, which confirms the efficacy of the treatment, especially for children with minimal change nephrotic syndr...

Methods: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between serum albumin level and ionized calcium in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. An analytic study with cross sectional comparative design was applied to nephrotic syndrome and healthy children between 2-8 years old in the Department of Pediatric Nephrlology, Comilla Medical College Hospital. A total of 120 subjects wer...

OBJECTIVE We present a prospective study of a microemulsion of cyclosporin to treat idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in ten children with normal renal function who presented cyclosporin trough levels between 50 and 150 ng/ml and achieved complete remission with cyclosporin. To compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of cyclosporin in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome during remission and relapse of the...

OBJECTIVE To report for the first time a case of reversible minimal change nephrotic syndrome with immunoglobulin A (IgA) deposition associated with heroin. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 29-year-old male heroin abuser who developed nephrotic syndrome was admitted to our clinic. Renal biopsy revealed minimal change disease with IgA deposition. Because spontaneous complete remission ...

Prediction of the histology of MPGN was performed without doing a renal biopsy by a univariate and multivariate analysis of three histological groups in nephrotic children: membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN, N=13), proliferative glomerulonephritis (PGN, N=11) and minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS, N=10). If the Y value of the following equation exceeded 0.41, the probability ...
