Resumen

DURAN ALVAREZ, Sandalio  y  VALDES MESA, Mario. Respuesta a los esteroides en el síndrome nefrótico idiopático. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 1999, vol.71, n.4, pp.222-227. ISSN 0034-7531.

The response to prednisone treatment by 290 children -190 males- with idiophatic nephrotic syndrome was retrospectively analyzed. The study of kidney biopsies by optical microscopy revealed that 234 had minimal changes and only 5(2,2 %) did not response to initial treatment; 27(11,6 %) did not have any relapse ina a 5 year or over follow- up period. Twenty-six children (9 %) suffered from focal segmental glomerulosclerosis acording to their kidney biopsies, 17 of them did not respond to prednisone treatment whereas the others who did, had relapses in their recovery. Thirtly children (11,0 %) showed diffuse messangial proliferation and 8 (26,7 %) did not respond to treatment. Only one child with this disease did not have any relapse and his nephrotic condition coincided with a bee sting. At present, it is believed that since the percent of children with minimal change disease who did not respond to prednisone therapy is low, kidney biopsy should be reserved for those who do not react to the treatment.

Palabras clave : NEPHROTIC SYNDROME [drug therapy]; PREDNISONE [therapeutic use].
