Basophil sensitization for food allergens in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Complete remission (CR) and partial remission (PR) are beneficial to the long-term outcome of patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN). However, we are lacking in studies that evaluate the clinical predictors of response to treatment with prednisone plus cyclophosphamide (CP). The objectives of ...
