| pubmed-article:1492032 | pubmed:abstractText | Actual knowledge on the HLA relationship with the primary glomerulopathies, with particular reference to steroid - sensitive nephrosis of childhood, is surveyed. Occurrence of HLA B-8 and B-35 in this nephropathy has been investigated. The studies involved 47 patients aged between 3 and 15 years and 117 healthy children from Lower Silesian region. It has been showed, that HLA B-8 is present more frequently in sick children, than in healthy controls. The situation is reverse in case of HLA B-35 antigen. However, the difference is statistically insignificant. A probability of the lipid nephrosis sensitivity to corticosteroids can not be predicted on the base of the presence of these HLA antigens. | lld:pubmed |
