Abstract

Thirteen children, seven boys and six girls aged between 3 to 12 years wit/1
the diagnosis of Nephrotic Syndrome were assessed for clinical and laboratory
figns with special attention on T 4 levels.


In the first examination, done during the full blown illness, T4 levels ranged
between 1 ug % to 10 ug % (mean: 5.4 + 3.14 ug %).


In remission the levels were significantly elevated, ranges between 3.6 ug % to 18.6 ug% rmean: 11.6 + 5.34 ug %).


Meanwhile, the observation of serum albumine and globuline concentrations showed a significantly rise ( p<0.005).


Comparison with the results of other investigators have also been discussed.
