Value of extracorporeal radioimmunoassay in children with nephrotic syndrome

: Extracorporeal radioimmune techniques were employed to study gonadotropic and sex hormones renin and beta 2-microglobulin in patients with nephrotic glomerulonephritis. The hypophyseal and gonadal system showed alterations which were dependent on the disease gravity. The level of renin and beta 2-microglobulin correlated first of all with renal function.
