Children (114) with primary nephrotic syndrome were followed up prospectively for periods of 5-14 yr. Urine samples from 94 became protein-free during the initial 8 wk course of prednisone, and the outcome for these children was good: 74 of them were free of symptoms for at least 3 yr, 18 had relapses during the last 3 yr, and only 1 child still has proteinuria. All these children have normal renal function and blood pressure. One child died accidentally. Children (20) did not respond to the initial prednisone treatment; of them, 13 had remissions later, of whom 2 have had relapses during the last 3 yr. Seven were totally resistant to prednisone 4 of whom died in renal failure, the remaining 3 have persistent proteinuria with normal levels of creatinine; 1 has high blood pressure too. Remission during the initial treatment indicated a good prognosis, but 2/3 of the initial nonresponders also fared well.
