Epidemiology of Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome: Real-World Data from Brazil
Despite the inherent limitations of observational studies, this investigation presents valuable clinical and demographic data on nephrotic syndrome from a previously underrepresented region. It highlights significant unmet medical needs in Brazil, including the need for consensus on treatment protocols and standardized definitions of responses to treatment. In addition, the near absence of genetic testing in steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome represents a critical gap that requires prompt intervention.
