Nephrotic Syndrome Type 1

CNF

Given nephrin’s role in slit diaphragm structure, it is not surprising that FN patients present with massive proteinuria. Podocin mutations present with similar clinical symptoms and pathologic findings of FSGS. [basicmedicalkey.com]

Renal function was normal or only mildly impaired at presentation. Infection was a common problem: two children presented with Streptococcus pneumoniae peritonitis and both died within a few months of birth. [adc.bmj.com]

Most infants (77%) presented the nephrotic syndrome in the first three months of life and 26 (87%) had significant growth retardation. Twenty-five verified episodes of serious bacterial infections occurred in 18 patients. [cags.org.ae]

    Acute kidney injury may also be caused by excessive diuresis, interstitial nephritis due to use of diuretics or NSAIDs, sepsis or renal vein thrombosis [ 8 ]. [patient.info]

  • Failure to Thrive

    Infants with congenital nephrotic syndrome may have failure to thrive and frequent infections. Although more commonly seen in individuals of Finnish descent, congenital nephrotic syndrome Finnish type has been reported worldwide. [malacards.org]

    Patients with severe proteinuria may require bilateral nephrectomy because of severe hypoalbuminemia; dialysis should be initiated early to ameliorate nutritional deficits and mitigate failure to thrive. The disorder usually recurs in a renal graft. [msdmanuals.com]

    The clinical course is marked by failure to thrive, recurrent life threatening bacterial infections, and early death from sepsis and/or uremia. A characteristic phenotype may be seen in children with CNS. [sjkdt.org]

Treatment Treatment for Finnish Nephrosis involves kidney transplantation in early childhood (age 3). [evolvegene.com]

Sodium prevents your kidneys from removing phosphorus from the blood. High phosphorus levels in the blood can lead to weak and brittle bones — making them easier to break. [actharexcessprotein.com]
