摘要
Results of recent animal studies have lent support to the hypothesis that hyperlipidaemia may contribute to renal injury. This report documents the case of a 15-year-old boy with drug-resistant nephrotic syndrome due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FGS) who showed an improvement in renal function and proteinuria as a result of treatment with low-density lipoprotein aphaeresis (LDL-A) combined with pravastatin. Although further work is required to determine the efficacy of lipid-lowering therapy in progressive glomerular disease in humans, the combination of LDL-A and pravastatin is likely be included in the choice of treatment modalities available for patients with drug-resistant nephrotic syndrome due to FGS.
