title: [Treatment of nephrotic syndrome in children (author's transl)].
abstract: The treatment of nephrotic syndrome by corticosteroids is standardized today for the first bout as well as for the relapse. In the frequently relapsing steroidsensitive nephrotic syndrome satisfactory results have been obtained by alternate - day steroid treatment during six months and in selected cases by the use of cytostatic drugs (cyclophophamide or chlorambucil). Controlled cooperative trials in pediatric nephrology centres are needed in order to improve the actual therapeutic results. The role of the family doctor in the care of the nephrotic child is described.
