Abstract

Long-term outcome of steroid-sensitive idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) in children is usually considered benign, although data on follow-up into adulthood are scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate adults who had childhood SSNS regarding their relapse rate, growth, and renal and extrarenal morbidity.
