Glucocorticoid- and pioglitazone-induced proteinuria reduction in experimental NS both correlate with glomerular ECM modulation

Summary: Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a common glomerular disease. Although glucocorticoids (GC) are the primary treatment, the PPARγ agonist pioglitazone (Pio) also reduces proteinuria in patients with NS and directly protects podocytes from injury. Because both drugs reduce proteinuria, w...
