Decreased biological activity of serum thymic hormone (thymulin) in children with nephrotic syndrome.
In 36 children with nephrotic syndrome (NS) a significant decrease of their serum levels of the thymic-hormone--thymulin--was found, in parallel with a diminution of their mean blood zinc levels as compared to 33 control children. The serum level of thymulin normalized after the in vitro addition of ZnCl2. Similar results have previously been reported in mice subjected to a long term zinc deficient diet. It can therefore be assumed that the decreased biological activity of the thymic hormone noted in NS is secondary to a low serum zinc level. These data could explain certain anomalies of T lymphocytes described in childhood NS.

Effect of thymus factor and levamisole treatment in patients with persistent nephrotic syndrome.
The effects of thymus factor (TFX) and levamisole on the clinical picture and some indices of cellular immunity have been evaluated in 10 patients with nephrotic syndrome due to membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis Type I. The patients revealed decreased T-lymphocyte number and impaired responsiveness to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) stimulation before treatment. An association between the slight diminution of proteinuria and the increase of E-rosette forming lymphocytes, increased responsiveness to PHA and return to normal of previously elevated B-cell percentages, was observed in four patients treated with TFX and one patients treated with levamisole.
