Apolipoprotein C-I Levels Are Associated with the Urinary Protein/Urinary Creatinine Ratio in Pediatric Idiopathic Steroid-Sensitive Nephrotic Syndrome: A Case Control Study

Table 2

Characteristics of groups analyzed for serum apolipoprotein C-I.

Group	Criteria			Median age (range), years	Average UP/UCr
Phase A1	Nephrotic phase in ISSNS before STx initiation	11	7 : 4	7 (1–13)	10.7
Group C	Nephrotic phase in nephrotic syndrome other than ISSNS before STx initiation	7	4 : 3	10 (4–15)	10.6

M: male; F: female; UP/UCr: urinary protein/urinary creatinine; ISSNS: idiopathic steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome; STx: steroid treatment.
