| Resumo: | Objective: To investigate the evolution of anthropometric parameters in children and adolescents with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) during treatment. Methods: Observational, retrospective study with a sample of 83 participants. Sociodemographic, clinical and nutritional data were collected from the medical records of participants with NS in a child care center. Data on family income (0-2 and 2-4 Brazilian minimum wages), maternal schooling (incomplete, complete and higher education) and proteinuria, edema and arterial hypertension in the presence or absence were categorized. A paired sample test was performed to compare the Z-score values of the indicators Height for Age (H/A) and Body Mass Index for Age (BMI/A) at the beginning and at the end of the research period, dividing the participants from two different categorizations (initial age and total treatment time). The McNemar test was used to assess changes in nutritional adequacy proportions. Results: Among the participants, 54.04% were male. Regarding H/A, we found that the frequency of individuals with short stature increased over the course of follow-up from 10% to 14.46%. More than 50% of participants already had changes related to BMI/A before starting treatment. We observed that the Z score for the BMI/A indicator showed a statistically significant increase in the participants with a longer treatment time. Conclusion: We observed that there was no statistically significant difference in the anthropometric parameters throughout the treatment, however there was an increase in the BMI/A Z-score of the participants who were in a longer treatment period. |
