Abstract

In idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS), ciclosporin A (CsA) was shown to decrease proteinuria, an effect explained by its immunologic and hemodynamic actions. In order to determine whether CsA could have a direct action on glomerular cells, we studied the effect of CsA on glomerular cells in vitro, particularly on glycosaminoglcycans (GAG) and heparan sulfates (HS) which are decreased in INS patients.
