BACKGROUND Nephrotic syndrome is a relatively rare but serious condition in children. Infantile nephrotic syndrome often has a genetic origin; the treatment is then symptomatic, with a poor prognosis, and a rapid evolution to chronic kidney disease. However, non-genetic infantile nephrotic syndrome has been identified. Here we report for the first time in a child a nephrotic syndrome as the sol...
Congenital nephrotic syndrome may respond to cyclosporine A – A case report and review of literature
Online first: March 14, 2017 SUMMARY Introduction Congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNF) is manifested at birth or within the first three months of life. The Finnish-type of CNF is caused by the mutation of the NPHS1 gene, which encodes nephrin in the podocyte slit diaphragm. It is a very severe disease, for which immunosuppressive therapy is not advised. Here we describe a patient with CNF who re...
Lupus nephritis (LN) of juvenile onset often has severe disease presentation. Despite aggressive induction therapy, up to 20% of patients with LN are resistant to initial therapy and up to 44% suffer a renal relapse. However, there is no consensus on an appropriate therapeutic regimen for refractory LN. We report a 13-year-old girl with recurrent LN who was not taking her medications. At age of...
This review examines selected aspects of the treatment of the nephrotic syndrome in children. Particular attention has been paid to two groups of nephrotic children. First, children with steroid-responsive nephrotic syndrome are discussed. Recently, a series of controlled studies have provided important information regarding the optimal duration of steroid therapy. Initial episodes of the nephr...
Nephrotic syndrome in minimal change lipoid nephrosis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis may be due to alteration of glomerular anionic sites by a lymphokine. Six adults with nephrotic syndrome who were resistant to treatment with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants were treated with cyclosporin A. In three patients with minimal change lipoid nephrosis who had been nephrotic for 3.5 to 2...
Nephrotic syndrome, characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and edema, is one of the most common kidney diseases in children. Although glucocorticoids (GCs), the mainstay of therapy for over 50 years, are effective in most children, more than 20% develop GC resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), among whom focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) is a frequent pathological outcom...
Background: Nephrotic syndrome is one of the most remarkable diseases in childhood. The majority of patients have prompt response to corticosteroids. Methods: In this study, we retrospectively evaluate the outcome of patients with steroid-responsive nephritic syndrome. Medical records from January 1996 to September 2006 were reviewed to identify all children with steroid sensitive nephrotic syn...
BACKGROUND/AIMS LDL apheresis (LDL-A) is used for drug-resistant nephrotic syndrome (NS) as an alternative therapy to induce remission by improvement of hyperlipidemia. Several clinical studies have suggested the efficacy of LDL-A for refractory NS, but the level of evidence remains insufficient. A multicenter prospective study, POLARIS (Prospective Observational Survey on the Long-Term Effects...
Treatment of nephrotic syndrome due to minimal change disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis remains a challenge since steroid dependence, steroid resistance and a relapsing disease course exhibits a high cumulative steroid dosage. The necessity of using alternative steroid-sparing immunosuppressive agents with potential toxic side effects also restricts their long-term use. Rituximab, ...
Schimke syndrome corresponds to dysplasia of bone and immunity, associated with progressive renal disease secondary to nephrotic syndrome cortico-resistant, with possible other abnormalities such as hypothyroidism and blond marrow aplasia. It is a rare genetic disorder, with few reports in the literature. The most frequent renal involvement is nephrotic syndrome with focal segmental glomerulosc...
