Objective: The changes of serum nitric oxide in children with
glomerular diseases.
Method: Using the Griess Reaction the stable metabolite of
nitric oxide (NO) in serum was examined in children with idioapatic
nephrotic syndrome (NS), acute glomerulonephritis (ANG) and
Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP).
Results: The results showed the serum NO of patients with NS,
AGN and HSP changed in different degree as compared with normal
control.
Conclusion: These findings suggested that the level of serum NO
was correlated with different illness courses of glomerular diseases and
the measurement of serum NO concentration might be a useful method to
distinguish NS from ANG.
