title: A study of protein clearances in patients with nephrotic syndrome.
abstract: In 37 patients of nephrotic syndrome, serum protein levels, protein fractions and urinary levels of proteins and their fractions were determined. The findings of serum levels of proteins and their fractions were compared with an equal number of age and sex matched controls. Twenty three patients showed selective and 14 non-selective proteinuria. Most of the patients with selective proteinuria showed good response to steroids therapy while those with non-selective proteinuria did not respond.
