Increased number and activation of peripheral basophils in adult‐onset minimal change disease

Nowadays, the pathogenesis of minimal change disease (MCD) is still not well‐known, and the current understanding on MCD is mainly based on data derived from children, and very few adults. Here, we comprehensively analysed the correlation between the changes of peripheral basophils and the incidence rate and relapse of adult‐onset MCD. The results showed that in patients at the onset of MCD, the ratio and activation of basophils were all higher than those of healthy controls (all P
