Prospective Study of the Effects of Helicobacter Pylori Eradication on Renal Functions and Proteinuria in Patients With Membranous Nephropathy
Abstract
Membranous nephropathy (MN) may also be secondary to many other diseases (e.g., infections, drugs, neoplasms and autoimmune diseases). In this study, the presence of Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori) antigen was investigated in renal tissue from needle biopsy samples, and the prevalence of H. pylori infection and the effects of H. pylori eradication on proteinuria level in patients with MN will be investigated.
Conditions: Nephrotic Syndrome, Glomerulonephritis, Membranous Nephropathy.
Primary outcome: Daily proteinuria levels after Helicobacter Pylori eradication treatment.
Enrollment: 70 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 70 participants or records.
