  Renal ultrasonography may identify renal venous thrombosis if suggestive features, such as flank pain, hematuria, or acute renal failure, are present. [aafp.org]

  Light microscopy of the renal biopsies was consistent with the Finnish type of congenital nephrosis in most patients (83%). Chronic renal insufficiency developed in 17, and five of them needed chronic peritoneal dialysis. [cags.org.ae]

  These would include an older age at presentation (>12 years), hypertension, an 'active' urine sediment (many RBC's or RBC casts), or renal insufficiency. [clinicaladvisor.com]

• Oliguria

  The most common symptoms were oliguria (92%) and edema (86.2%) followed by hematuria (dark urine) (72.4%) and hypertension (35.6%). MPGN was the most common histological type of adult NS in Rangpur. [sjkdt.org]

  The signs include cold hands and feet, delayed capillary filling, oliguria, and tachycardia. Hypotension is a late feature. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Renal cysts in children with ADPKD have been associated with wide clinical spectra, ranging from totally asymptomatic patients to those who present as newborns with massive renal enlargement, hypertension, oliguria and pulmonary hypoplasia 8. [centogene.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]
