Nephrotic syndrome in childhood.
Childhood nephrotic syndromes are most commonly caused by one of two idiopathic diseases: minimal-change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). A third distinct type, membranous nephropathy, is rare in children. Other causes of isolated nephrotic syndrome can be subdivided into two major categories: rare genetic disorders, and secondary diseases associated with...
متن کاملEthnic Differences in Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is a common glomerular disease in children with significant variability in both incidence and steroid responsiveness among various ethnic groups. The average incidence of nephrotic syndrome is 2-16.9 per 100,000 children worldwide. Understanding the variability by ethnicity may point to potential factors leading to nephrotic syndrome, which remains elusive, and may highlight ...

متن کاملPerspectives on edema in childhood nephrotic syndrome.
There have been two major theories surrounding the development of edema in nephrotic syndrome (NS), namely, the under- and overfill hypotheses. Edema is one of the cardinal features of NS and remains one of the principal reasons for admission of children to the hospital. Recently, the discovery that proteases in the glomerular filtrate of patients with NS are activating the epithelial sodium ch...
متن کاملMicroRNAs in idiopathic childhood nephrotic syndrome.
Childhood nephrotic syndrome (NS) is associated with an increase in the permeability across the glomerular filtration barrier due to processes that affect the dynamics and permselectivity of the glomerular filtration barrier. This increased permeability leads to an inability to restrict the loss of protein to 100 mg/m body surface per day (1 ). The incidence of idiopathic NS has been reported t...
