Predicting and Defining Steroid Resistance in Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome Using Plasma Proteomics

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a kidney disease that affects both children and adults. Glucocorticoids have been the primary therapy for >60 years but are ineffective in approximately 20% of children and approximately 50% of adult patients. Unfortunately, patients with steroid-resistant NS (SRNS; vs. steroid-sensitive NS [SSNS]) are at high risk for both glucocorticoid-induced side effects and disease...
