Glomerular nestin expression: possible predictor of outcome of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in children
2015
Background
A high prevalence of chronic kidney disease among children with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) leads to a permanent quest for good predictors of kidney dysfunction. Thus, we carried out a retrospective cohort study in order to examine known clinical and morphological predictors of adverse outcome, as well as to investigate glomerular nestin expression as a potential new early predictor of kidney dysfunction in children with FSGS. Relationships between nestin expression and clinical and morphological findings were also investigated.
