Results: 70% were male and 30% were females. In the present study, 100% had swelling followed by 88% had
puffiness. 100% had pitting edema and 80% had ascites. The hemoglobin, serum albumin, serum creatinine was
10.5±1.46, 1.7±0.43 and 0.62±0.18 respectively. 34% had complete remission and 15% had relapse.
