and 0.4g/24h for PE and 2.9mg/dl and 4.8g/24h for PG. Podocyte cells were observed in all three groups, but there were only significant numbers in PG and PE. In PE group it was found almost three times the quantity detected in PG. Conclusions: Urinary podocyte excretion occurs in PE and PG besides other renal abnormalities; furthermore, it may contribute to the development of glomerulosclerosis. The detection of podocyturia in PE could be useful for preventing, diagnosing and following up the glomerular injury and it may also be correlated to its severity or activity, although additional studies are necessary to confirm these points.
