Abstract

Lymphocytes are involved in the physiopathologic mechanism of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS). We have recently demonstrated that plasma from patients with INS decreases human glomerular epithelial cell (GEC) glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), particularly heparan sulfates (HS) in vitro. In this study we investigate the effect of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from INS patients on glomerular cell GAG and HS.
