The course of nephrosis in 36 children was evaluated. Twelve of 24 who received no treatment or short-term courses of steroids died. Eleven of the 24 had been well for six months to five years at the time of this report. Twelve patients received steroids by schedule over extended periods. One died and eleven had been free of signs and symptoms of nephrosis for four to eighteen months at the time of report. In only two cases was therapy discontinued. It seems evident that these patients are experiencing a better state of well-being. Whether or not the prognosis is being altered for any single patient cannot be determined.
对36名儿童的肾病病程进行了评估。24名未接受治疗或接受短期类固醇治疗的儿童中有12名死亡。在撰写本报告时,24名儿童中有11名已经病情稳定6个月至5年。12名患者长期按计划接受类固醇治疗。1名患者死亡,11名患者在报告时已无肾病体征和症状4至18个月。仅2例停止了治疗。显然,这些患者的健康状况较好。但无法确定任何一名患者的预后是否正在改变。
