  • Title: Nephrotic syndrome in childhood.
    Author: Robson WL, Leung AK.
    Journal: Adv Pediatr; 1993; 40():287-323. PubMed ID: 8249708.
    Abstract:
    MLNS is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in childhood and has a very good prognosis. Other histologic types have a varying prognosis. Corticosteroid treatment induces a remission in the majority of patients with nephrotic syndrome. Every effort should be made to reduce the total dose of corticosteroid so as to minimize the potential for corticosteroid-induced side effects.
