Brief Summary   this is an active safety surveilence study on childhood onset nephrotic syndrome who are recieving rituximab as treatment. our main focus is to locate any adverse reaction following rituximab. 

Diagnosed cases of childhood onset nephrotic syndrome (CONS) who are refractory to conventional first and second line immunosuppressant therapy attending the nephrology/ pediatrics OPD/ IPD of this hospital shall be screened.Eligible subjects shall be categorized as two cohorts-

(1) RTX treatment naïve cohort- those who have been advised RTX and shall receive the first dose in our hospital.

(2) RTX treated cohort: those who have been administered at least one dose of RTX in the last 3 months from our hospital.

All enrolled subjects shall be actively followed up every 2 months for the first 6 months and thereafter every 3 months upto 12 months from the date of initiation of RTX therapy for all suspected RTX induced ADR. Estimation of CD20 count by flow cytometry will be done at the department of Pharmacology and all other investigations as advised by the attending clinician required for establishing causal association of the suspected adverse reaction to rituximab shall be done form our hospital and recorded. The study is intended to be completed within a period of eighteen months from initiation.
