Presentation
Congenital nephrotic syndrome presents before three months of age. [lecturio.com]
Uses the same consistent, step-by-step presentation in every chapter: History, Physical Examination, Diagnosis (including laboratory tests), Imaging, Diagnosis, and Treatment. [books.google.com]
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]
Entire Body System
- Swelling
For example diuretic treatment and a low salt diet can usually control the swelling. [rarerenal.org]
A low-sodium diet may help with swelling in the hands and legs. Water pills (diuretics) may also help with this problem. Low-protein diets may be helpful. [medlineplus.gov]
Some of the main symptoms associated with nephrotic syndrome include: swelling – the low level of protein in the blood reduces the flow of water from body tissues back into the blood vessels, leading to swelling (oedema). [nhs.uk]
These include: proteinuria —high levels of protein in the urine (based on your child’s age and size) hypoalbuminemia —low levels of protein in your child’s blood, since it’s being passed out of his body in his urine edema —swelling. [childrenshospital.org]
Blood thinners, or anticoagulants, to make blood clots less likely Medications that turn down your immune system, such as corticosteroids You may need to cut down on salt to reduce swelling. [webmd.com]
- Collapse
Renal biopsy shows focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) or collapsing FSGS (summary by Ashraf et al., 2013). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of nephrotic syndrome and FSGS, see NPHS1 (256300). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other Histological Variants of FSGS Collapsing Glomerulopathy Collapsing variant of FSGS is characterized by progressive obliteration of capillary lumina due to wrinkling and shrinking of the basement membranes ( 23, 25, 30 ). [frontiersin.org]
Renal biopsy shows focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) or collapsing FSGS (summary by Ashraf et al., 2013; pubmed:24270420 ; FBrf0236627 ). [flybase.org]
The absence of this protein may cause collapsed glomeruli The types of Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome caused by this mutation are also known as Denys-Drash and Frasier syndromes Mutation(s) in the WT1 gene are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. [dovemed.com]
- Malnutrition
Certain complications may develop because of prolonged kidney malfunction in Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome, and these may include: Acute kidney failure Blood clots Malnutrition Anemia Severe and chronic kidney failure End-stage kidney disease Cardiovascular [dovemed.com]
Additional consequences include the following: Hypertension related to fluid retention and reduced kidney function may occur Edema of the gut may cause defective absorption, leading to malnutrition Ascites and pleural effusions may develop Infection Infection [emedicine.medscape.com]

- Hematuria
Isolated hematuria, sensory hearing loss, and ocular disturbances [studyblue.com]
Hematuria is rare in MCNS, but microscopic hematuria may be present in ca. 20% of the cases. Macroscopic hematuria is present in 60–80% of the cases of FSGS, MN and MPGN. [lecturio.com]
Formulate a differential diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome with and without hematuria. Identify the cause of hyponatremia in nephrotic syndrome. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]
This is a consequence of glomerular inflammation (known as glomerulonephritis) that results in hematuria, proteinuria, and hypertension. Here our glomerulus is damaged due to an inflammatory process. [study.com]
It presents with NS in 90% of cases but may present with renal insufficiency, hypertension, and hematuria in a proportion of cases. [frontiersin.org]
- Frothy Urine
Some patients may notice foamy or frothy urine, due to a lowering of the surface tension by the severe proteinuria. Actual urinary complaints such as haematuria or oliguria are uncommon, though these are seen commonly in nephritic syndrome. [en.wikipedia.org]

- Hypoalbuminemia
Nephrotic syndrome type 9 (NPHS9) is an autosomal recessive chronic kidney disorder characterized by significant proteinuria resulting in hypoalbuminemia and edema. Onset is in the first or second decade of life. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
May be associated with hypoalbuminemia and hypercholesterolemia. [icd10data.com]

- Hyponatremia
Identify the cause of hyponatremia in nephrotic syndrome. Recognize complications associated with nephrotic syndrome, including those resulting from diuretic therapy. Understand the various factors that affect the prognosis of nephrotic syndrome. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]
Blood tests Hyponatremia (reduced Na levels in the blood due to hyperlipemia and fluid retention), hyperkalemia (reduced K levels in blood in presence of renal insufficiency) and hypocalcemia (reduced Ca levels due to hypoalbuminemia) may be present, [lecturio.com]
Hyponatremia also occurs with a low fractional sodium excretion. Hyperlipidaemia is caused by two factors: Hypoproteinemia stimulates protein synthesis in the liver, resulting in the overproduction of lipoproteins. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis
Progression and Prognosis of Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome Pediatric or childhood nephrotic syndrome show good prognosis by medication. 90% of MCNS responds to corticosteroids with an excellent prognosis. [lecturio.com]
The prognosis for NS is highly dependent on the underlying cause, the disease histology, and patient clinical factors. [aafp.org]
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]
The majority of patients with NS respond to steroid therapy and have a good clinical prognosis. [cyberleninka.org]
When diagnosed with FSGS, patients can not help concerning about their prognosis. In this article, let’s see more corresponding information. [pinterest.fr]
Etiology
Etiology of Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome The etiology of the pediatric nephrotic syndrome can be understood by the following points: Primary (idiopathic) nephrotic syndrome Minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS, minimal change disease) is the most common [lecturio.com]
Whereas 80 % of children in western countries be steroid responsive, studies from South Africa, Nigeria more recently Ghana show that only 9 % to 50 % of children with nephrotic syndrome are steroid responsive. 18 ETIOLOGY The etiology of nephrotic syndrome [slideplayer.com]
Abstract Castleman's Disease (CD) is an uncommon and poorly understood disorder of lymph node hyperplasia of unknown etiology. [sjkdt.org]
(Etiology) Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome is caused by mutation(s) in any of the NPHS1, NPHS2, WT1, or LAMB2 genes. The condition may be inherited in an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive manner. [dovemed.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology Nephrotic syndrome can affect children of any age, from infancy to adolescence, and is most commonly seen among school-aged children and adolescents. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]
According to our review of relevant literature, no epidemiologic study has investigated the incidence of nephrotic syndrome following enteroviral infection. [journals.plos.org]
