Recent reports from both Caucasian and black populations suggest changes in steroid responsiveness of childhood nephrotic syndrome. This study was therefore undertaken to determine the features and steroid sensitivity pattern of a cohort of black children with nephrotic syndrome. Records of children managed for nephrotic syndrome from January 2008 to April 2013 were reviewed. Details including ...

Ciclosporin A (CsA) is used in resistant cases, but also as a first-line treatment, due to the serious side effects of cytotoxic drugs. In this study, the remission rates of nephrotic syndrome and the incidence of side ...

Background. Nephrotic syndrome is caused by a variety of glomerulopathy. The current study investigated the renal histopathological spectrum of patients with nephrotic syndrome who received a renal biopsy in our department within the last 15 years. Methods. One thousand five hundred and twenty-three consecutive patients ( 14 years old at renal biopsy) with nephrotic syndrome were recruited. Pat...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the epidemiology, clinical and histological features, and prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) according to RIFLE classification in adult patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. METHODS In this retrospective study, 277 patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome were reviewed from June 2005 to June 2009. RESULTS Fifty-one (18%) patients entere...

Infection in patients with nephrotic syndrome has been described as hallmark of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. The aim of present article is to study the clinical profile of infections in children with steroid responsive nephrotic syndrome and correlation of serum albumin and serum cholesterol level with episodes of infection in children with steroid responsive nephrotic syndrome. The predictiv...

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...

introduction idiopathic membranous nephropathy (mn) is a common cause of adult nephrotic syndrome. recently, m-type phospholipase a2 receptor (pla2-r) has been discovered as the main podocyte antigen in the pathogenesis of idiopathic mn. materials and methods in this mini review, the author searched english-language medline for the terms “membranous nephropathy”, “rituximab”, and “phospholipase...
