Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Using serum from patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and other acquired kidney diseases, we will measure anti-Crb2, anti-nephrin, and anti-sialic acid antibodies as well as related chemokine levels, and evaluate whether these humoral factors can serve as blood biomarkers for disease diagnosis and assessment of disease activity.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Serum anti-Crb2 antibody titers in patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome at onset and relapse

Key secondary outcomes

1. Correlation between anti-Crb2 antibody titers and proteinuria
2. Association between anti-Crb2 antibody titers and disease activity
3. Association between serum anti-nephrin antibody titers, serum anti-sialic acid antibody titers, circulating chemokine levels, and serum anti-Crb2 antibody titers
