...José G. van den BERG; Jan J. WEENING Idiopathic NS (nephrotic syndrome) is characterized by massive proteinuria, due to a leak in the glomerular barrier to proteins. Genetic defects that affect the function and the composition of the glomerular capillary wall, in particular of the visceral...

...A. AUDIGÉ; Z.R. YU; B.M. FREY; D.E. UEHLINGER; F.J. FREY; B. VOGT In experimental nephrotic syndrome, urinary sodium excretion is decreased during the early phase of the disease. The molecular mechanism(s) leading to salt retention has not been completely elucidated. The rate-limiting constituent...

... and allergy. Although several studies have described an association between atopy and idiopathic childhood nephrotic syndrome (NS), it is not clear whether this association is of a causal nature. Furthermore, it is not known whether these polymorphisms are associated with the clinical course of NS. A total...

...Ton J. Rabelink; Joost A. Bijlsma; Hein A. Koomans 1. In previous studies we found that albumin infusions caused only a modest natriuresis in the nephrotic syndrome, suggesting that hypovolaemia played no part in the sodium retention of these patients. However, this finding was inconclusive, since...

... synthesis. 5. These results suggest that, as in patients with primary moderate hyperlipidaemia, the significant cholesterol-lowering effect of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors in the nephrotic syndrome is accompanied by variable changes in lipoprotein metabolism. The reasons...

...B. Vogt; H. Favre 1. In the nephrotic syndrome the kidneys retain salt and water, which leads to oedema formation. The site of this sodium retention has been localized in the cortical collecting tubule by micropuncture studies. Whether or not this phenomenon is an intrinsic renal problem...

...J. D. Firth 1. In minimal change nephrotic syndrome the occurrence of heavy proteinuria can be explained on the basis of a reduction in charge selectivity of the glomerular filtration barrier, and it has been proposed that this might be caused by the neutralization of anionic groups...
