Renal inflammation is an initial pathological process during progressive renal injury
regardless of the initial cause. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a truly …

Nephrotic syndrome is one of the most common glomerular disorders in childhood.
Glucocorticoids have been the cornerstone of the treatment of childhood nephrotic …

Human macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays a role in several

Results. The findings showed that MIF-173 G> C variant significantly increases the risk of NS
in codominant (OR= 1.82, 95% CI= 1.08-3.08, P= 0.026, GC vs GG), dominant (OR= 1.90 …

factor (MIF) gene polymorphism (− 173G/C) and glucocorticoid sensitivity in sudden …

Background: Studies have identified that MIF-173 G> C gene polymorphism is associated
with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) susceptibility and steroid resistance, but the results …
