Abstract

We aimed to analyze the changes in plasma leptin, serum inflammatory factors and urinary protein in children with nephrotic syndrome before and after treatment and their clinical significance. A total of 28 children treated and diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome between November 2015 and October 2016 were selected as treatment group, while 25 healthy children were selected as control group. There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, body mass index (BMI), serum albumin and other general data between treatment group and control group (P>0.05). There was a positive correlation between serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level and 24 h urinary protein level in children with nephrotic syndrome before treatment (r=0.408, P=0.005). Twenty-four hours urinary protein, urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) levels in children with nephrotic syndrome before treatment were significantly higher than those in normal children, and these indexes were significantly decreased after treatment. The levels of plasma leptin and serum inflammatory factors (hs-CRP and IL-18) in children with nephrotic syndrome before treatment were obviously higher than those in normal children, and these indexes were obviously decreased after treatment. In conclusion, the detection of changes in plasma leptin, serum inflammatory factors (hs-CRP and IL-18) and urinary protein in children with nephrotic syndrome before and after treatment has important reference value for reflecting the severity of disease and evaluating the prognosis of children with nephrotic syndrome.
