This study aims to clarify the role of allergy in pure idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in children. Childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (CIS), or nephrosis (N), is the most common chronic glomerular nephropathy in young children. Its etiopathogeny is still poorly understood; although there are many arguments in favor of immunological mediation, the precise mechanisms are not fully clarified.The duration of disease progression is unpredictable. Renal prognosis depends on response to corticosteroid therapy.After reviewing the bibliography, a practical, descriptive and analytical study was carried out to assess the frequency of allergic diseases in children with corticosensitive NIS, and to determine the prevalence of frequent relapses in these patients.
