Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome is primarily a pediatric disorder. Vast majority of affected children will have steroid responsive MCNS. Steroid resistance is present in 10%o of total patients suffering from nephrotic syndrome. This study was conducted to determine the frequency of different glomerulopathies causing steroid resistance. According to this study, out of total 30 patients having steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome and undergone renal biopsy, majority had FSGS. MPGN was second common cause of steroid resistance.
