Search for: [Abstract = "first year of CsA treatment. The risk of CsA dependency increased with higher IL\-2 levels. Serum sIL\-2R concentration correlated with lipid concentrations and blood morphology. The probability for achieving the total remission was higher among patients with higher sIL\-2R concentrations measured in NS relapse. Lower sIL\-2R concentrations increased the risk for steroid resistance and glomerular sclerosis. Respiratory or urinary tract infection in NS relapse did not influence the cytokines concentrations. The cytokines concentrations did not correlate with relapse frequency, the time from the previous relapse and the up to now treatment. This study suggests, that the measurements of TNF\- alfa, interleukin 2 and the soluble interleukin 2 receptor may be valuable in the prognosis of the primary NS in children and in the optimal treatment selection."]
