Change of the Level of Serum Leptin in Children with Primary Nephritic Syndrome Treated with Glucocorticosteroid / 实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the change of the level of serum leptin in children with primary nephritic syndrome(PNS)treated with glucocorticosteroid.Methods Totally 30 PNS patients and 26 healthy children in whom were a matchable age,sex and body mass index(BMI)with the PNS patients were recruited in this study.The PNS patients were treated with prednisone in middle-term or long-term coure of treatment.Serum leptin and BMI of PNS patients were abserved before treatment,after 2,6 months treatment and in the end.The se-rum total cholesteroc(TC)and triglyeride(TG)were abserved in PNS patients after 2,6 months treatment and in the end.Results The se-rum leptin level was(2.75?2.29)?g/L in the PNS patient before treatment and control group was(2.65?2.22)?g/L.There was not significantly different between the PNS patient and control group.The level of serum leptin after 2 months treatment was(9.29?7.19)?g/L and BMI was(18.12?1.90)kg/m2.They were higher than that in control group,6 months treatment and in the end(Pa
