What is GENOTROPIN? GENOTROPIN (somatropin [rDNA origin] for injection) is a growth hormone treatment. It is an exact copy of the natural growth hormone that our bodies make. The main difference i...

Childhood nephrotic syndrome—current and future therapies

Corticosteroids have been used to treat childhood nephrotic syndrome for more than 50 years but a minority of patients, especially those with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, are resistant to this...

Genetic testing in nephrotic syndrome—challenges and opportunities

Advances in molecular genetics and genomic science are improving our understanding of the molecular basis of nephrotic syndrome. However, the availability of genetic testing in the management of nephr...

Nephrotic syndrome: Genetic screening in steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome

In a new study, Lipska et al. genetically screened an unselected cohort of 227 adolescents with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). From their findings, the authors make suggestions for what...

Rituximab therapy in nephrotic syndrome: implications for patients' management

Rituximab offers an alternative approach to current immunosuppressive therapies for patients with difficult-to-treat, steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome. Rituximab therapy has been shown to induce a...

[Comment] Idiopathic membranous nephropathy: back to the future?

Treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy has been controversial for decades. Uncertainty mainly surrounds optimum therapeutic strategies for patients with nephrotic syndrome, because those with...

Treatment with tacrolimus and prednisolone is preferable to intravenous cyclophosphamide as the initial therapy for children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome

Extended steroid treatment fails to reduce pediatric nephrotic relapse

Study findings indicate that extending initial prednisolone treatment durations in patients with pediatric nephrotic syndrome from 3 to 6 months without increasing the overall dose does not reduce the...

The pathophysiology of edema formation in the nephrotic syndrome

Unspecific Increase of Tumor Markers in a Girl with Nephrotic Syndrome and Ovarian Teratoma.

Coexistence of nephrotic syndrome and neoplasm is rarely observed in children. We report the diagnostic and therapeutic problems of a 16-year-old female with nephrotic syndrome, ovarian tumor, and inc...

Childhood nephrotic syndrome-current and future therapies.

The introduction of corticosteroids more than 50 years ago dramatically improved the prognosis of children with nephrotic syndrome. Corticosteroids remain the standard initial treatment for children w...

Steroid sensitive Nephrotic syndrome in paediatrics.

Nephrotic syndrome is basically a set of signs or symptoms that may point to kidney problems, a condition when large amounts of protein leak out into the urine. In children protein excretion greater t...

Treatment of tacrolimus or cyclosporine A in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Cyclosporine A (CsA) and tacrolimus (TAC) are often alternative treatment choices for patients with nephrotic syndrome. METHODS: In this prospective study, the efficacy and safety of CsA a...
