The level of native and oxidized lipoprotein(a) in children with nephrotic syndrome

► The ox-Lp(a) and Lp(a)-IC levels were analyzed in NS children at different phases. ► Lp(a),ox-Lp(a) and Lp(a)-IC levels decreased after steroid therapy in NS. ► Ox-Lp(a), Lp(a)-IC and albumin levels changed most markedly after steroid therapy. ► Monitoring ox-Lp(a) level and dynamic changes may have particularly clinical value.
