Meanings of microalbuminuria in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in children

Main Article Content

Abstract

We investigated the existence of microalbuminuria in children with corticosteroid-sensitive idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in complete remission. In the study of a series of 18 cases, we noted a clearly different evolution depending on the existence or absence of pathological micro albuminuria.


Microalbuminuria appears to be a prognostic discrimination parameter in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.
