Abstrakt: The passage of proteins across the glomerular filtration barrier is mainly determined by the size of the protein. In nephrotic syndrome (NS) the glomerular permselectivity is affected, causing proteinuria. Some authors suggest the existence of a generalized basement membrane defect. The permeability characteristics of the peritoneal basement membrane in children with NS are not known.
