Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES

I Determine the effect of atorvastatin on the plasma levels of lipids Lpa and apoproteins for treating hyperlipidemia in children with nephrotic syndrome in whom proteinuria and hyperlipidemia persist after other appropriate measures to treat their primary disease have been exhausted

II Determine the safety and tolerability of atorvastatin in these patients

III Provide preliminary data for a future investigation into the potential effect that lowering cholesterol levels may have on the rate of progression of renal insufficiency in such patients
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE

This is a randomized double blind placebo controlled multicenter study

After 3 months of low cholesterol diet patients are randomized to receive atorvastatin tablets daily arm I or placebo tablets daily arm II for 3 months Arm I patients receive increasing doses of atorvastatin every 4 weeks until individual maximum tolerated doses MTDs are determined

After 3 months of treatment all patients are given atorvastatin in a 6-9 month open label extended evaluation Arm I patients receive atorvastatin for an additional 6 months and arm II patients receive atorvastatin for 9 months with increasing doses of atorvastatin every 4 weeks for the first 3 months until MTDs are determined

Patients are followed every 6-8 weeks for one year
