Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Nephrotic Syndrome
Interventions
Device: Tissue Doppler imaging and Conventional Echocardiography
Registration Number
NCT06622915
Lead Sponsor
Sohag University
Brief Summary

nephrotic syndrome (NS) is one of the most common pediatric kidney diseases There is an increased incidence of heart disease in patients with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) compared to the normal population Conventional Echocardiography is usually utilized to diagnose myocardial dysfunction. Tissue Doppler imaging is a non-invasive cardiac imaging technique which measures the velocity of the longitudinal motion of the mitral annulus, tricuspid annulus and the basal part of interventricular septum
