Abstract

We report our experience with a four-month old male infant suffering from nephrotic synrome who developed generalized edema, subsequently associated with progressive uremia. His delivery was uneventful with no history of familiar renal disease. Conservative therapy was started but he expired 26 days after admission. Mesangial sclerotic changes (90% of all glomeruli) with mild compensatory tubular dilatation on the necropsy finding were identified. So we conclude that this histologic evidence may be compatible with diffuse mesangial sclerosis decumented in a four-month old male infant.
