New selectivity index calculated using protein fraction as a substitute for the conventional selectivity index
2019
Background
Selectivity index (SI) of proteinuria, calculated using the clearance ratio of immunoglobulin G to transferrin, predicts the response to glucocorticoids in patients with nephrotic syndrome. However, there is disagreement regarding the suitability of SI. Therefore, alternate indices should be considered. This study investigated whether or not selectivity index protein fraction (SIPF) was inferior to SI for the prediction of the response to glucocorticoids.
