Although the presentation is similar to that of FN, diffuse mesangial sclerosis (DMS) can present later up to 4 years of age. It presents with unremitting NS within the first 9 months of life usually. [frontiersin.org]

Presentation Symptoms In children, facial swelling is a common presenting feature, with periorbital oedema often being the first evidence that something is wrong; oedema may progress to involve the whole body. [patient.info]

There are no established guidelines on the diagnostic workup or management of nephrotic syndrome. [aafp.org]

Patients believed to have other renal diseases should undergo additional diagnostic workup, usually including renal biopsy, and may require alternative management. [mdmag.com]

Treatment of iSRNS A summary of the treatment response of the remaining 17 children is shown in Table 2 and Table 3. Duration of follow up ranged from 5 months to 6.25years. [panafrican-med-journal.com]

After starting treatment, urine is tested regularly to assess its response to treatment. The absence of protein in urine tests suggests a positive response to treatment. [vikaspedia.in]

Young children who get treatment usually get better and have no lasting problems. Often treatment is not as successful in older children and adults. [myhealth.alberta.ca]

It is difficult to make broad statements about prognosis or life expectancy because every person is unique. Usually, the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome type I begin at birth or within the first year of life. [thinkgenetic.com]

What is the prognosis? When MPGN is associated with another condition or disease, like any of the ones listed above, it is usually resolved by successfully treating the associated condition or disease. [unckidneycenter.org]

Primary Glomerular Disorders That Can Cause Nephrotic Syndrome Glomerular Disorder Description Prognosis Minimal change disease This mild disease of the glomerulus is more common in children but also affects adults. The prognosis is good. [msdmanuals.com]

Prognosis This is very variable depending on the underlying cause. Congenital nephrotic syndrome usually carries a very poor prognosis. Corticosteroids have reduced the mortality rate in children to around 3% [ 17 ]. [patient.info]

As long as the child continues to respond to steroids, he/she most likely has MCNS and an excellent long term prognosis and renal biopsy is not indicated. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Etiology It is caused, in Finnish families as well as in other families, by mutations in the NPHS1 gene, localised to chromosome 19. [orpha.net]

The etiology of minimal change nephrotic syndrome is unknown. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Signs, and Symptoms The etiological basis for the development of NS is damage to renal glomeruli causing proteinuria (primarily albumin), hypoalbuminemia, and thus disorder in fluid homeostasis. [uspharmacist.com]

The etiology of this condition remains largely unknown, but some have postulated an immunologic mechanism. [hawaii.edu]

Summary Epidemiology This type of nephrotic syndrome is more frequent in Finland (with an incidence of 1 in 8 200 births) but it is also observed in various ethnic groups worldwide. [orpha.net]
