Abstract

In this report we retrospectively evaluated 57 children with primary nephrotic syndrome to test if there has been a relationship between initial ultrasonographic evaluation and subsequent corticosteroid responsiveness. Twentyone of 57 patients (36.8 %) had abnormal sonograms; nephromegaly was present in 22.8 % and increased renal echogenity in 33.3 %. Steroid resistance was present in 22.8 % of the patients. Sensitivity of USG for diagnosing steroid resistance in childhood primary nephrotic syndrome was 69 %; specificity 72 %, positive predictive value 42 % and negative predictive value was 88 %. In conclusion initial USG findings is not a sensitive indicator for giving clues for subsequent corticosteroid responsiveness as reported before.

Özet

Bu çalışmada 57 Nefrotik sendromlu (NS) çocuk; renal ultrasonografik (USG) bulgular ve steroid cevabı arasında muhtemel bir ilişkiyi ortaya koymak amacıyla retrospektif olarak incelendi. 57 hastanın 21'nde anormal USG bulguları saptandı; % 22.8'nde nefromegali,% 33.3'nde renal ekojenite artışı saptandı. USG'nin çocukluk çağı NS'da steroid rezistansını göstermesi açısından sensitivitesi % 69, spesifisitesi % 72, pozitif prediktif değeri % 42 ve negatif prediktif değeri % 88 olarak saptandı. Sonuç olarak; daha önceki yayınlarda da belirtildiği gibi renal ultrasonografinin NS'da steroid cevabı hakkında sensitif ipuçları vermediği kanısına varıldı.
