Background. The present study is to look for a correlation between oxidative stress and thyroid function in patients with the nephrotic syndrome in the remission phase as well as in a persistent proteinuric state. Introduction. Nephrotic syndrome is a form of chronic kidney disease due to which blood loses protein through the urine. We wanted to know if there was an increased loss of thyroid ho...

BACKGROUND Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the LMX1B gene and is characterized by nail dysplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and nephropathy. We herein report a case of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) prior to overt orthopedic symptoms in a patient with NPS. CASE PRESENTATION A 24-year-old woman presented to our hospital with knee ...

Background: Nephrotic syndrome, or nephrosis, is defined by the1presence of nephrotic-range1 proteinuria, edema, hypoalbuminemia & hyperlipidemia. syndrome remains the common manifestation glomerular disease in childhood. UTI a infection accompanying nephrotic syndrome. But there no local evidence available. Aim: To assess frequency urinary tract children presenting with tertiary1care hospi...

The pathogenesis of aminonucleoside of puromycin (PA) nephrotic syndrome in rats was studied using renal transplantation to separate systemic from renal factors. The nephrotic syndrome was transferred by transplantation of kidneys from rats with established proteinuria. Bilaterally nephrectomized normal rats receiving kidneys removed as early as 15 min after intravenous PA injection (100 mg/kg)...

INTRODUCTION Although the association of infection by toxoplasmosis with the development of nephrotic syndrome is uncommon, cases of this association have nevertheless been reported in the literature for more than two decades, not only for congenital toxoplasmosis, but also in acquired cases, and occasionally in immunocompetent patients. DEVELOPMENT A case is presented of an immunocompetent p...

There are limited studies on long-term outcomes of childhood onset nephrotic syndrome (NS). A majority of children with NS have steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS). Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is associated with a high risk of developing end-stage renal disease. Biomarkers and analysis of genetic mutations may provide new information for prognosis in SRNS. Frequently rel...

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...

Type 1 membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is an immune complex-mediated disorder that has been associated with certain viral infections including hepatitis C, hepatitis B, hepatitis G, HIV and Hantavirus. We describe a patient with type 1 MPGN in native kidneys and nephrotic syndrome in whom there was strong evidence that a primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection played a causat...

OBJECTIVE To present a case with nephrotic syndrome due to minimal change disease and polycythemia. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 20-year-old female was admitted to our clinic for edema and severe proteinuria present with minimal change disease since the age of 7 years. Polycythemia was found during the last activation of nephrotic syndrome. The patient was placed on glucocorticoid...

We report the case of a 38-year-old male with autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and concomitant nephrotic syndrome secondary to membranous nephropathy (MN). A 3-month course of prednisone 60 mg daily and losartan 100 mg daily resulted in resistance. Treatment with chlorambucil 0.2 mg/kg daily, low-dose prednisone, plus an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and an ...
