Abstract
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is a common form of glomerular nephropathy in children, with an incidence rate of 1.15-16.9/100,000 depending on different nationalities and ethnicities. The etiological factors and mechanisms of childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome have not yet been fully elucidated. This review summarizes the progress of the immunopathogenesis of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in children. DATA SOURCES: We review the literature on the immunopathogenesis of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in children. Databases including Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for studies published in any language with the terms "children", "idiopathic nephrotic syndrome", "immunopathogenesis", "T cells", "circulating permeability factors", and "B cells". RESULTS: Dysfunction in T lymphocytes and pathogenic circulatory factors were indicated to play key roles in the pathogenesis of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. Recently, some studies have shown that cellular immune dysfunction may also be involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: Both T- and B-cell dysfunction may play significant roles in the pathogenesis of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, like two sides of one coin, but the role of B cell seems more important than T cells.
