Between 1973 and 1982 there was a significantly higher incidence of minimal change nephrotic syndrome among Asian compared with non-Asian children in Leicestershire. Most Asians in Leicestershire are Gujarati-speaking Hindus, but Sikhs and Muslims are also represented; no group of Asians (defined by religion, language, or birthplace) was at special risk of developing nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome was more preponderant in Asian children living within the city of Leicester, and there was an unusually low incidence in non-Asian children within the city. Both racial and environmental factors may be important in the increased susceptibility to minimal change nephrotic syndrome in Asian children.
1973年至1982年间,莱斯特郡的亚洲儿童中微小病变型肾病综合征的发病率显著高于非亚洲儿童。莱斯特郡的大多数亚洲人是说古吉拉特语的印度教徒,但也有锡克教徒和穆斯林;没有任何一组亚洲人(按宗教、语言或出生地定义)有患肾病综合征的特殊风险。肾病综合征在居住在莱斯特市的亚洲儿童中更为普遍,而该市的非亚洲儿童发病率异常低。种族和环境因素可能对亚洲儿童更易患微小病变型肾病综合征都很重要。
