In order to clarify the T-cell abnormalities present in minimal-change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS), lymphocyte subsets were studied using two-color flow cytometry in children with MCNS and nephrotic syndrome caused by other types of glomerular disease, and normal healthy children. In MCNS, CD4+Leu8+ (suppressor-inducer) and CD3+CD25+ (IL-2 receptor positive T) cells were significantly increased, and CD4+Leu8- (helper-inducer), CD8+CD11+ (suppressor), CD3+HLA-DR+ (DR positive T) and CD4+HLA-DR+ (activated helper/inducer) cells were significantly decreased in comparison with normal healthy children. The same abnormalities were also found in nephrotic syndrome caused by other types of glomerular disease. These findings indicate that abnormalities of lymphocyte subsets are present in MCNS and nephrotic syndrome due to a variety of glomerular diseases, and suggest that such abnormalities are a consequence of nephrotic syndrome.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D009402 Nephrosis, Lipoid A kidney disease with no or minimal histological glomerular changes on light microscopy and with no immune deposits. It is characterized by lipid accumulation in the epithelial cells of KIDNEY TUBULES and in the URINE. Patients usually show NEPHROTIC SYNDROME indicating the presence of PROTEINURIA with accompanying EDEMA.

D009404 Nephrotic Syndrome A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.

D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D002675 Child, Preschool A child between the ages of 2 and 5. Children, Preschool,Preschool Child,Preschool Children
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
