College of Pharmacy, University of Baghdad discussed a Ph.D. thesis on potential genetic and biochemical indicators to predict response to steroid medications in a sample of Iraqi children with undetermined renal syndromeby the postgraduate student, Ms. Ali Muhammad Abd Al-Redha.
The thesis aimed at evaluating the ability of vitamin D-binding protein (uVDBP) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) to distinguish patients with drug-resistant syndrome.
The thesis reviewed that the median levels of vitamin D-binding protein and the average levels of lipocalin were significantly higher (p<0.001) in the group of children with steroid drug-resistant syndrome compared to the group of children with steroid drug-responsive syndrome.
