Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare serum level of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in children aged 5-18 years with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome and hyperlipidemia with LDL Level 130mg/dl treated with atorvastatin 10mg/day and placebo at 6 months in double blind randomized control manner. To compare rate of progression of CIMT in children aged 5-18 yrs with SRNS and hyperlipidemia with LDL Level 130mg/dl treated with atorvastatin 10mg/day and placebo at 12 months in double blind randomized control mannerTimepoint: To compare serum level of LDL and triglycerides in children aged 5-18 years with SRNS and hyperlipidemia with LDL Level 130mg/dl treated with atorvastatin 10mg/day and placebo at 6 months in double blind randomized control manner. To compare rate of progression of CIMT in children aged 5-18 yrs with SRNS and hyperlipidemia with LDL Level 130mg/dl treated with atorvastatin 10mg/day and placebo at 12 months in double blind randomized control manner.CIMT at year and LDL at 6 months

Secondary
