Heat shock protein 70 levels in children with nephrotic syndrome
Our study demonstrates that uHSP70 levels are elevated in SSNS prior to treatment and decrease with prednisolone therapy, reflecting reduced renal stress and damage. uHSP70 may be a useful biomarker for monitoring renal damage and treatment response. Serum and urine levels of HSP70, as well as uHSP70/Cre ratios, did not differentiate between frequent and infrequent relapses.
