Nephrotic syndrome is caused by increased permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier
for macromolecules. The identification of mutations of various podocyte-expressed proteins …

In this study, we measured soluble urokinase receptor levels, a possible permeability factor,
in the plasma of patients with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and …

Idiopathic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is believed to be caused by a
circulating permeability factor. FSGS recurrence is common after transplantation. The …

Background. Minimal change disease (MCD) is one of the major causes of nephrotic
syndrome both in children and adults. The pathogenesis of this condition is not clear and it …

The collapsing variant of focal segment glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is characterized by
heavy proteinuria and rapid progression to renal failure. Its cause is not known. We have …

Nephrotic syndrome results from varying injuries to the capillary wall of the glomerulus. The
components of the capillary wall, including the endothelial cell, glomerular basement …

In this prospective study, we measured serum levels of the soluble urokinase receptor
(suPAR) in pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome of various etiologies. Mean levels of …

Glomerular disease is a common cause for proteinuria and chronic kidney disease leading
to end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation in children. Nephrotic …

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is one of the primary glomerular disorders in
both children and adults which can progress to end-stage renal failure. Recent advances in …
