The authors present a 4-year-old girl with nephrotic syndrome who developed actue lymphoblastic leukaemia 5 months after the start of a combined treatment of alternate day prednisone and daily cyclophosphamide during 3 months. The nephrotic syndrome was due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The occurrence of leukaemia might be related to the preceeding treatment with cyclophosphamide.

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of Levamisole (Leva) in maintaining short-term and long-term remission in early steroid responders (ESRs) and late steroid responders (LSRs).
Methods: This retrospective study on 106 cohorts, aged 2-14 years with frequent-relapsing (FR) and steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS) who received Leva over 10-years (2012-2023), was carried out at tertiary care centre, Karachi from January-August 2023. Patients were categorized based on steroid response during first episode of NS as ESRs if complete remission (CR) was achieved within two weeks of daily steroid and LSRs if CR achieved between two-four weeks.
Introduction Nephrotic syndrome, an unusual clinical presentation of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), occurs only in a few cases. The data regarding its clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes are lacking. Material and methods In this retrospective analysis, we reviewed kidney biopsies conducted between January 2007 and December 2018.

Primary amyloidosis (AL type) is a systemic disease that can lead to structural and functional damage to organs and tissues such as the kidney, heart and liver with non-specific symptoms. Most of the affected patients develop thyroid infiltration and thus diffuse enlargement of the thyroid gland, while cases leading to hypothyroidism are exceedingly rare. Some researchers have analyzed thyroid function in newly diagnosed patients with AL amyloidosis, and found that the incidence of overt hypothyroidism is only 7%.

: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is an inherited peripheral neuropathy primarily involving motor and sensory neurons. Mutations in INF2, an actin assembly factor, cause two diseases: peripheral neuropathy CMT-DIE (MIM614455) and/or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). These two phenotypes arise from the progressive degeneration affecting podocytes and Schwann cells.

: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a pattern of kidney injury with diverse causes and pathogeneses, resulting in podocyte injury and depletion. It can be classified as primary, genetic, or secondary. Because FSGS classically has a worse prognosis in patients with nephrotic syndrome, most studies have focused on the treatment and evolution of these patients, resulting in a lack of data related to patients without nephrotic syndrome.
