5. In contrast to the recent findings of the British authors and earlier results5 6 we failed to find a significant difference in levels of total serum IgE between nephrotic and control children and only 4 of our 7 patients with SRNS labelled as allergic presented with IgE concentrations higher than 500 U/mI. This discrepancy could be attributed to the fact that most of our patients were studied at the beginning of a relapse, whereas all British patients were in remission. However, this argument does not seem to be valid because in another series of patients with SRNS serum IgE levels were higher during treatment of a relapse than during remission.';We agree with Meadow;et al; IgE and allergy is not constant in SRNS; therefore the significance of raised serum IgE levels in nephrotic children is doubtful,serum
