Estudio comparativo entre el esquema convencional y el tratamiento prolongado con esteroides en el síndrome nefrótico cortico-sensible primario en Pediatría

In the steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) the prolonged treatment with steroids could decrease the frequency of relapses. We conducted a comparative study of prolonged steroid scheme and the usual treatment of primary SSNS to assess: the number of patients with relapses, mean time to treatment initiation, to remission and to first relapse, total number of relapses, total cumulative dose of steroids, and the steroid toxicity.
