Abstract
The clinical and histopathologic features of 48 children presenting with the nephrotic syndrome during the first year of life were analyzed. Proteinuria was discovered soon after birth to 3 months of age in 39 infants (congenital nephrotic syndrome), and nine infants had an infantile onset presenting between 4 and 12 months of age. Neither histologic parameters--microglomeruli, epithelial, or mesangial proliferation, focal segmental or global sclerosis, fibrinoid necrosis, or tubular microcysts--nor histologic classification--microcystic disease, mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, focal segmental glomerular sclerosis/hyalinosis-predicted the outcome. Rather, age at presentation was found to predict outcome: One of 39 infants with a congenital onset and seven of nine infants with an infantile onset underwent a complete remission (P less than 0.0001).
