Endo A. J Lipid Res. However, insignificant rise of LDL-C was observed. Omega-3 fatty acids intake did not alter HDL-C. Effects of Statin on NS were shown in Table 3 [ 18 - 24 ]. The efficacy, safety, and tolerability of simvastatin 20 mg twice a day in the treatment of hyperlipidemia due to unremitting NS was compared with that of cholestyramine 8 g twice a day in a crossover trial [ 18 ].

Forty-three NS patients were randomly distributed into two age- and sex-matched groups fluvastatin vs. Proteinuria, serum albumin and creatinine clearance values were significantly better in the statin-treated patients [ 19 ]. Interstitial fibrosis and renal fat deposits were less in the statin-treated group. There were no significant differences between the groups in their urine protein levels, their rise in plasma creatinine, or decline in plasma inulin clearance.

Over 6 months the mean plasma albumin concentrations increased. Plasma creatinine concentrations remained stable in five patients. Twelve infants and children with steroid-resistant NS took lovastatin or simvastatin [ 23 ]. There were no changes observed in the degree of proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, or in the rate of progression to chronic renal failure.

At the end of 12 months, atorvastatin was not superior to placebo in reducing plasma LDL-C levels. There was no significant effect on other lipid fractions, cIMT and flow-mediated dilation.

Out of seven studies, five studies reported renal outcome. Two studies showed an improvement of proteinuria due to statin, however, three studies did not show any beneficial effects of statin on renal outcome. Effects of fibrate on NS were shown in Table 4 [ 25 , 26 ]. Gemfibrozil mg or placebo was administered to 11 NS patients twice a day with 6-week treatment periods [ 25 ]. There was a third unblinded period in which seven patients received gemfibrozil plus the bile acid-binding resin, colestipol, 10 g twice a day.

Gemfibrozil treatment produced a marked reduction in TG and TC. Apo A1 was unchanged while apo B decreased. Renal outcome due to gemfibrozil was not reported. Placebo was administered to five patients and gemfibrozil was administered to seven patients for 4 months [ 26 ]. HDL-C and apo A levels were not significantly altered. Renal function and urine protein excretion were not affected by gemfibrozil. Although previous fibrates showed worsening of kidney function test values, pemafibrate was less likely to increase serum creatinine or decrease eGFR [ 27 ].

However, the interventional trial for NS using pemafibrate has not been performed yet, which is desired in the future. LDL-A was performed twice a week for 3 weeks first course , then weekly for 6 weeks second course [ 28 ]. Eleven patients who had biopsy-proven focal segmental glomerulosclerosis FGS presenting with NS and were resistant to steroid and conventional-dose cyclosporine A therapy were included.

Serum TC and TG significantly decreased. Although neither of these complications has been proved with certainty, there is growing evidence that both may be long-term consequences of NS. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of lipid abnormalities, important aspects of the management of nephrotic children, is summarized here to provide pediatric nephrologists with an informed choice.
