Presentation
Written by leading pathologists, this second edition presents an up-to-date, concise presentation of major pathological, clinical, pathophysiological, and genetic information for over 240 diagnoses. [books.google.de]
Abstract A newborn boy is presented with proteinuria, edema, aplasia of patellae, and extension defect in the elbows. Seven of his relatives have, or have had, nephropathy and skeletal deformities and two of them have only skeletal deformities. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Deformities of the knees may be present. Patellae may be absent or hypoplastic. Osteoarthritic changes may be present. [boneandspine.com]
The only nail changes present may be triangular lunules, a characteristic feature of NPS, which means that the half moons seen at the base of the nail are pointed rather than rounded. [npsuk.org]
Proteinuria may present at any age from birth onwards and may be intermittent. Renal problems may present, or be exacerbated, during pregnancy. [checkorphan.org]
Entire Body System

Asymptomatic
The individual with NPS may remain asymptomatic for a long while despite showing the visual signs of having misshaped nails. [news-medical.net]
Once proteinuria is present, it may remit spontaneously, remain asymptomatic, or progress to nephrotic syndrome and occasionally to ESRD. Progression to renal failure may appear to occur rapidly or after many years of asymptomatic proteinuria. [checkorphan.org]
Nephropathy was disclosed in four of the five related members with skeletal dysplasia; the three were in uremic, the one, a 32-year-old man, was remaining in asymptomatic proteinuria and the other, a 6-year-old girl, was negative for proteinuria. [jstage.jst.go.jp]
In autosomal recessive diseases, heterozygotes are usually asymptomatic and kidney donations are usually accepted. This occurs mainly in nephropediatrics. [revistanefrologia.com]
Initially, affected individuals may have no apparent symptoms (asymptomatic). As fluid pressure increases, some individuals with the condition may develop mild headaches, blurred vision, and/or the appearance of “halos” around certain lights. [rarediseases.org]

Thrombosis
Other causes of the neonatal nephrotic syndrome, such as congenital nephrosis, congenital syphilis, and renal vein thrombosis could be excluded. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Thromboembolic disease Bilateral renal vein / renal arterial thrombosis G.- Nephrotoxins Aminoglycosides, Radiographic contrast media, Urate nephropathy H.- Maternal ingestion of drugs NSAIDS, ACEI, ARB III. [uninet.edu]
Due to risk of cardiovascular complications, including stroke, thrombosis, and death, the lowest dose of these agents needed to keep the Hb between 10 and 11 g/dL is used. [merckmanuals.com]
Musculoskeletal

Genu Valgum
Other occasional knee problems may include, quadriceps muscle wasting, genu recurvatum (knees bent backwards), genu valgum (knock knees), genu varum (bowlegs), different leg lengths, rotational deformities of the legs (twisted legs), Osgood-Schlatter's [medigoo.com]

Kidney Failure
It teaches the physician how to recognise the tell-tale signs of the diseases that cause kidney failure and how to confirm their presence in an efficient manner. [link.springer.com]
However, in about 5% of those affected, progressive kidney failure may result, causing potentially life-threatening complications. [rarediseases.org]
Kidney failure usually necessitates dialysis, where a machine artificially replaces some functions of the kidney, or a transplant. [independent.ie]

Treatment
Physical Therapy: Although this is an effective treatment, patients can risk aggravating their joint issues. Physical therapy often complements other orthopedic treatments. [marijuanadoctors.com]
The book also details the general management of the patient with renal failure and the treatment of various causative diseases. [link.springer.com]
Read about treatment for patello-femoral pain. [syndromespedia.com]
Treatment and Drugs The treatment for NPS and glaucoma depends upon the severity of each case. In general, glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. [umkelloggeye.org]
There is no cure for the syndrome, but specialized treatments are available to address each of the presenting complications. Treatments vary based on the severity of the symptoms. [study.com]
Prognosis
The incidence and prognosis of nephropathy in HOOD is discussed on the basis of the reported family and data from the literature. Received November 25, 1969. Accepted February 4, 1970. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Prognosis of Nail Patella Syndrome 30-55% of patients with nail-patella syndrome develop a renal disease and end-stage renal disease may develop in about 5%. Prognosis after renal transplantation is good. [boneandspine.com]
Favorable course of collagenofibrotic glomerulopathy after kidney transplantation and questionnaire survey about the prognosis of collagenofibrotic glomerulopathy. Nihon Jinzo Gakkai Shi 2004;46:360-4. 10. [ijpmonline.org]
Prognosis Symptoms vary from person to person and for one person through time. The long-term prognosis is extremely variable. One person may exhibit mild symptoms, while another person may become wheelchair-bound or require a kidney transplant. [healthofchildren.com]
Etiology
Though deposition of collagen type III prompts us to connect the two diseases, the etiological link remains to be discovered. [6] CG, a rare glomerular deposition disease, often encountered in the Asian population, is also reported from other parts of [ijpmonline.org]
Instances of neonatal renal failure caused by maternal ingestion of ACEI and ARB are not infrequent. 6 Other rare causes of neonatal anuria and renal failure include hyperuricemia and urate nephropathy. 12 Notwithstanding the above long list, only few etiologies [uninet.edu]
Whilst etiologically heterogeneous, up to 20% of cases of CKD are thought to be due to genetic forms of renal disease [ 2 – 4 ]. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

With any type of glaucoma, periodic examinations are very important to prevent vision loss. Because glaucoma can worsen without your being aware of it, treatment may need to be changed over time. [umkelloggeye.org]
A balance must be maintained between preventing rejection and making your child very susceptible to infection. [stanfordchildrens.org]
Eye drops, pills, laser procedures, and surgical operations are used to prevent or slow further damage from occurring. With any type of glaucoma, periodic examinations are very important to prevent vision loss. [medicalmarijuana.com]
