Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed complications related to nephrotic syndrome (NS) in 109 children, finding that most had primary NS (88%), with a high incidence of infections (76%) and hypertension (48.6%).
- - Frequent relapses contributed to more infections, particularly UTIs and pneumonia, while steroid use led to significant drug-related complications, such as obesity (19.7%) and Cushing's face (34.5%).
- - The research concluded that NS poses multiple health challenges and that many complications stem from the necessary immunosuppressant treatments used to manage the disease.
