Minimal-change nephrotic syndrome in adults treated with alternate-day steroids.

abstract：:Creatinine clearance has been repeatedly measured in three groups of chronic uremics. In the first control group (31 cases), following a conventional low-protein diet, creatinine clearance declined linearly with time. In the second group (12 cases), following very low nitrogen diet supplemented with essential amino ac...
