“…As previously mentioned, the FA profiles of patients with NS show an increase in the pro-inflammatory omega-6 series, even during remission. In these patients, adherence to the Mediterranean diet modifies the omega-6/omega-3 ratio in favor of the anti-inflammatory omega-3 and decreases blood linoleic acid levels [ 26 ]. In Persian medicine, quince, pomegranate, and whole grains could be recommended for NS.…”

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a common pediatric disease characterized by a dysfunction in the glomerular filtration barrier that leads to protein, fluid, and nutrient loss in urine. Corticosteroid therapy is the conventional treatment in children. Long-term complications of NS and prolonged exposure to steroids affect bones, growth, and the cardiovascular system. Diet can play an important role in preventing these complications, but there is a scarcity of scientific literature about nutritional recommendations for children with NS. They need individualized nutrition choices not only during the acute phase of the disease but also during remission to prevent the progression of kidney damage. The correct management of diet in these children requires a multidisciplinary approach that involves family pediatricians, pediatric nephrologists, dietitians, and parents.

“…Turolo et al performed a cross-sectional study to evaluate the positive potential role of the Mediterranean dietary pattern in patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties related to the high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. The authors investigated the adherence to the Mediterranean diet and fatty acid profile and the results in 54 children with Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome (INS) and found a negative correlation between proteinuria and the anti-inflammatory omega-3 series [21].…”
