The changes of the hair roots in correlation to the clinical status of the nephrotic syndrome. The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health. 1976 Dec; 7(4): 596-600http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/31241The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health.The examination of the hair roots were performed by a modified technique as described by Bradfield. The mean hair bulb diameter in children with overt nephrotic syndrome was statistically smaller than the controls. The distributions of hair root morphology amongst them were also statistically different from those of the control group. The hair roots of the children with remission or with questionable relapse were not different from the control group. The application of hair root examination, therefore may be useful in the differentiation of various stages of the nephrotic syndrome.engAdolescentChildChild, PreschoolHairHumansMethodsNephrotic Syndrome --diagnosisProteinuria --diagnosisSkin Diseases --diagnosisThailandJournal Article
