Özet

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is an immune-mediated disorder associated with hyperlipidemia. NS has been proposed to be mediated through CD80-related T cell immune response, which could be blocked using soluble cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated s(CTLA)-4. Although ghrelin is a hormone-modulating lipid metabolism and suppressing immune system, the precise role of ghrelin in NS is not well established.
