Abstract
Steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is believed to be associated with a high risk of developing chronic renal failure (CRF). The underlining histopathology usually affects the course of the disease and the response to treatment . Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) was reported as the main cause of SRNS in western countries as well as many other parts of the world . However, in black South Africans membranous nephropathy associated with hepatitis B infection was reported as a main cause of SRNS and minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCD) was reported as the main cause in Kuwaiti children. In this study we report the pattern of the histopathology of SRNS in children presented to King AbdulAziz University Hospital (KAUH).
