Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is a major manifestation of chronic idiopathic glomerulonephritis and a common disease in children. The cause and pathogenesis of the disease have not been clarified so far. The treatment is usually a longterm process, from a few months to several years, even decades, including the period of hospitalisation, outpatient treatment period and follow-up period after treatment. The INS patients are negatively affected by the disease and its treatment process. The aim of this study is to assess the health-related quality of life (QOL) of children with INS according to clinical types in Haiphong Children’s Hospital. Object: Describe some factors related to the QOL of children with INS. Subjects: 71 patients diagnosed with INS, who are being monitored and treated at Haiphong Children’s Hospital from 10/2015 to 05/2016. Methods: Prospective studies, descriptive cross-sectional. QOL of the patients is assessed by the PedsQL 4.0 scale; the higher score shows that the lower QOL. Results: The general QOL score of children with INS (21.24±13.91) was higher than normal children (16.98±10.20). Children with steroid-resistant INS have a higher score (31.62±14.32) than children with steroid-dependent (20.57±9.08) and responsive INS (14.58±6.83). | Quality of life of children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome according to clinical types
