    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Nephrotic syndrome presents with diverse etiologies, impacting both children and adults.
    • The prevalence of nephrotic syndrome may be underestimated in the general population.
    • Accurate histological classification is crucial for effective patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 70 nephrotic syndrome cases.
    • To evaluate the utility of histological classification in guiding treatment and prognosis.
    • To assess the efficacy of steroid and cytotoxic therapies in specific nephrotic syndrome subtypes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 70 patient cases diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome.
    • Histopathological examination of kidney biopsies for classification.

  • Treatment protocols involving steroid and cytotoxic drugs for eligible patients.

    • Main Results:

    • Histological classification proved beneficial for patient management and prognosis.
    • Steroid and cytotoxic drug therapy yielded positive outcomes in minimal change glomerulonephritis and lupus nephritis.
    • Other forms of glomerulonephritis require further investigation for targeted therapies.

    Conclusions:

    • Nephrotic syndrome is a significant clinical entity requiring careful histological assessment.
    • Specific treatments, like steroids, are effective for certain glomerulonephritis types.
    • Further research is needed to develop targeted therapies for less common forms of glomerulonephritis.
