Nephrosis describes a clinical condition of edema and proteinuria characterized morphologically (light microscopy [LM]) by fatty degeneration of the renal tubules associated with normal glomeruli. The term nephrosis was introduced primarily to distinguish it from nephritis, a term used to denote the clinical condition associated with cellular proliferation of the glomerulus. Shortly thereafter the name of the condition was changed to lipoid nephrosis when it was noted that lipid droplets commonly were found in the urine of affected patients. Lipoid nephrosis gradually evolved to the present name of nephrotic syndrome (NS).

Glomerular Diseases Topics [General] Nephritic Syndrome Nephrotic Syndrome Nephrotic Syndrome A predictable complex that results from a severe, prolonged increase in glomerular permeability for protein. Etiology and Classification Nephrotic syndrome (NS) occurs at any age but is more prevalent in children than in adults; in children, it is most common between ages 1 1/2 and 4 yr. There is a predilection for young males, but the sex distribution in older patients is more equal. Proteinuria is thought to occur through functional derangement of two mechanisms: the size-selective barrier leaks large protein molecules, and the charge-selective barrier fails to retain lower mol wt proteins. Diseases causing NS are listed in Table 224-7. Primary causes include minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN), membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (GN). NS can also be due to secondary causes. Symptoms and Signs An early sign of NS is frothy urine due to protein. Other features include anorexia, malaise, puffy eyelids, retinal sheen, abdominal pain, and wasting of muscles. Anasarca with ascites and pleural effusions may occur.

Extractions: lipoid nephrosis Minimal change nephropathy is responsible for 90% of the cases of nephrotic syndrome in children less than 5 years of age. It also occurs in adults - approx 20%. The name is derived from the fact that the only detectable abnormality histologically is fusion and deformity of the foot processes under the electron microscope. Both light microscopy and immunofluorescence are unremarkable. The condition is most frequent in children aged between two and four years. It has been suggested that MCD is more common in atopic patients, especially those posessing HLA-DR7. However, a direct link between allergic sensitisation and the onset of MCD is yet to be established. MCD is steroid-responsive and, in general, does not lead to chronic renal failure.

Medical Encyclopedia Go To Main Page Alternate Names : Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome of Childhood, Lipoid Nephrosis, Minimal Change Nephrotic Syndrome, Nil Disease Definition Minimal change disease is a kidney disorder. Each kidney is made of more than a million units called nephrons. Each nephron has a tuft of blood vessels called a glomerulus, which is surrounded by a Bowman's Capsule. Together, these structures filter blood and form urine. Minimal change disease is one cause of nephrotic syndrome . It is named "minimal change" because the nephrons appear totally normal under a light microscope. The condition is only seen using an electron microscope, which reveals changes in the Bowman's Capsule in the nephrons. Urine tests also show high protein levels.

You may receive instructions on how much salt to allow in your diet. Corticosteroids can cure minimal change disease in a vast majority of children. Some patients may require maintenance on steroids to sustain the remission. A minority of children may relapse after they stop taking steroids. If that happens, they usually respond well to a repeat course of the steroids. Adults do not respond to steroids quite as well as children, but a majority still do find steroids effective. The frequency of relapses and steroid dependence may be greater in adults.
