| Abstract |
|
Congenital nephrotic syndrome is an uncommon disorder, which is caused by a heterogenous group
of renal diseases with variable etiology and natural history. It may be inherited, sporadic, acquird
or a part of a general malformation syndrome. This disorder has no single or pathological feature
for pathognomonic finding, and there is no ultimate curative treatment except renal transplantation.
We experienced a case of congenital nephrotic syndrome in a 4 month old boy who was admitted
due to generalized edema and periorbital edema. The boy was diagnosed as congenital nephrotic
syndrome, which was confirmed by clinical manifestations, laboratory data, and pathologic findings.
This case is discussed with a review of the literature associated with congenital nephrotic
syndrome. |
