The nephrotic syndrome is characterized by generalized oedema considered to be due to the fall syndrome. in serum albumin and to sodium retention. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether a generalized disturbance in vascular integrity contrib- Introduction utes to the oedema formation. Methods. We used the PAN-(puromycin aminonucleo- The integrity of vascular endothelium is of paramount side) nephritis model in order to induce the nephrotic importance to maintain and regulate intravascular syndrome in female Wistar rats.

Traditionally, the ascites fluid were taken to determine radioactivity and pathogenesis of the generalized oedema seen in the tissue dry-to-wet weights.
