- Title
Gene Mutations and Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome.
- Authors
Mahdavi-Mazdeh, Mitra
- Abstract
The author discusses aspects of glomerulopathies that cause end-stage renal diseases in younger populations in Iran which call for different treatment options to prevent outcomes. He cites studies that compare steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome related to gene mutations in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. The author believes that histologic features and clinical findings do not differentiate genetic mutations which may require more studies.
