| Abstract |
|
To assess the clinical significance of histopathologic variants of minimal change nephrotic syn-
drome (MCNS) by light microscopic findings, 148 biopsy proven MCNS patients, who were admitted
to Seoul National University Hospital between the period from January 1976 to December 1986, were
analyzed according to clinical findings, steroid responsiveness, and follow up status in relation to the
pathologic variants.
The followings are summary and conclusion.
1) Significantly larger proportion of patients with FGO had onset before 6 years of age.
2) Hematuria was more common in patients with FTC and MMH than with Nil and FGO.
3) Hypertension, selectivity index and elevated Scr at admission were not different among the
categories.
4) Unresponsiveness to initial treatment was significantly more common in patients with FTC and
MMH. However the differences in the proportions of subsequent nonresponders were not remarkable
among the histological categories.
5) Five (3.8%) out of 148 paitients died during the follow up period.
With the above findings, clinical significance of subgrouping histologic variants in MCNS seems to
be less prominent as the follow up period is extended. |
