摘要
Nephrotic syndrome(NS)is relatively common in children,with most of its histological types being minimal changed disease.Its etiology has long been attributed to lymphocyte(especially T-cell)dysfunction,while T-cell-mediated vascular hyperpermeability increases protein permeability in glomerular capillaries,leading to proteinuria and hypoproteinemia.Based on this etiology,steroids and immunosuppressive drugs that are effective against this disease have also been considered to correct T-cell dysfunction.However,in recent years,this has been questioned.The primary cause of NS has been considered damage to glomerular epithelial cells and podocyte-related proteins.Therefore,we first describe the changes in expression of molecules involved in NS etiology,and then describe the mechanism by which abnormal expression of these molecules induces proteinuria.Finally,we consider the mechanism by which infection causes the recurrence of NS.
