| Abstract |
|
Abnormal lymphocyte function has been postulated to have a pathogenetic role in nephrotic syndrome.
To assess immunologic parameters in the pathogenesis of various glomerulonephritis in early
phase, in prdiatric department of Kyung Hee University Hospital from September 1985 to June 1986,
serum immunoglobulin concentration and T cell subsets were measured in 32 children and compared
with normal control group (n=30).
Further studies are needed to evaluate immunologic parameters in glomerulonephritis, but our
study shows as follows:
1) The OKT4/OKT8 ratio increased in post streptococcal glomerulonephritis, minimal change
nephrotic syndrome and IgA nephropathy compared to normal control group, but statiscally no significance.
2) Serum IgG level was significantly reduced in minimal change nephrotic syndrome, but the others
immunoglobulin level were within normal limit.
