BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Mutations in several genes are known to cause steroid-resistant nephrotic syndome (SRNS), most commonly in NPHS1, NPHS2, and WT1. Our aims were to determine the frequency of mutations in these genes in children with SRNS, the response of patients with SRNS to various immunosuppressants, and the disease outcome, and to review the predictive value of genetic testing and renal biopsy result. DESIGN AND SETTINGS: A retrospective review was performed of the medical records for all children with SRNS who were treated and followed-up in the Pediatric Nephrology Unit of King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from 2002-2012...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the expression of glucocorticoid receptors (GCR) in lymphocytes (CD3/ GCR) and monocytes (CD14/GCR) in children with nephrotic syndrome (NS). PATIENTS: The patients were divided into two groups: group I: 17 children with the first NS attack, and group II: 17 children with a subsequent NS event. In both groups, examinations were carried out before treatment (A) and after albuminuria disappearance during prednisone treatment (B). The control group (C) consisted of 23 healthy children, never treated with glucocorticosteroids...
