CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Nephrotic syndrome is a disorder of the kidneys that results from increased
permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier. It is characterized by 4 major clinical
characteristics
that
are
used
in
establishing
the
diagnosis:
proteinuria,

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Definition
Nephrotic syndrome, also known as nephrosis, is defined by the presence of
nephrotic-range
proteinuria,
edema,
hyperlipidemia,
and
hypoalbuminemia.
2.2 Epidemiology
Indonesia is a densely-populated nation with more than 235 million people,
and a pediatric population 19 years and under of more than 88 million. It is assumed
that the ratio of pediatric nephrologists to pediatric population is approximately
1:3,684,210 with 19 trained pediatric nephrologists. Based on a multicenter study in
2000-2004 involving seven pediatric institutions, the top three kidney diseases
affecting children in Indonesia were nephrotic syndrome (35%), acute poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis (26%), and urinary tract infections (23%).
Other renal disease entities from most to least common included acute renal failure,
chronic renal failure, nephrolithiasis, enuresis, and congenital renal disease. Urinary
incontinence was an increasingly recognized problem. The underlying etiologies
identified were spinal dysraphism, malignant osteolytic vertebral lesions, nonneurogenic neurogenic bladder and anatomical abnormalities. More than 50% of
these children developed chronic renal failure. (Avner ED, 2009)
Among the causes of acute renal failure in older children, jengkol bean
intoxication was an important cause, accounting for 31% of children hospitalized for
acute renal failure in a large general hospital in Jakarta. Jengkol bean is widely
consumed in Indonesia, especially in rural areas. The pathophysiologic mechanism of
kidney injury includes obstruction of renal tubules by jengkolic acid crystals, as well
as a direct tovix effect on renal tubular cells. (Avner ED, 2009)
Studies on frequent relapsing nephrotic syndrome in Indonesian children have
shown an association with certain HLA class II haplotypes, including HLA-DRBI*12
(protective haplotype) and DQBI*02 (at risk haplotype). Other studies in Indonesian
children on genetic variants of the Th2 cytokine genes IL-I3 and IL-4 showed some
association with minimal change nephrotic syndrome. (Avner ED, 2009)
2.3 Etiology
Commonly, the primary causes of nephrotic syndrome include kidney diseases
such as minimal-change nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, and focal
glomerulosclerosis. Secondary causes include systemic diseases such as diabetes
mellitus, lupus erythematosus, and amyloidosis. Congenital and hereditary focal
glomerylosclerosis may result from mutations of genes that code for podocyte
proteins, including nephrin, podocin, or the cation channel 6 protein. Nephrotic
syndrome can result from drugs of abuse, such as heroin. (Cohen EP, 2014)
Nephrotic-range proteinuria occurring in the third trimester of pregnancy is
the classical finding of preeclampsia. In that condition, also known as toxemia,
hypertension develops as well. It may occur de novo or it may be superimposed on
another chronic kidney disease. In the latter case, there will have been preexisting
proteinuria that will have worsened during pregnancy. (Cohen EP, 2014)
Medication can cause nephrotic syndrome. This includes the very infrequent
occurrence of minimal-change nephropathy with NSAID use, and the occurrence of
membranous nephropathy with the administration of gold and penicillamine, which
are older drugs used for rheumatic diseases; there have also been reports of focal
glomerulosclerosis in association with intravenous bisphosphonates. Lithium and
interferon therapy also are implicated in focal glomerulosclerosis of the collapsing
type. (Cohen EP, 2014)
2.4 Clinical Manifestation
Edema is the presenting symptom in about 95% of children with nephrotic
syndrome. Early on, the edema is intermittent and insidious, and its presence may not
be appreciated. A common story is for the child to present to a primary care
practitioner repeatedly for periorbital edema, which is ascribed to "allergies" until the
edema progresses. (Lane JC, 2015)
Edema usually appears first in areas of low tissue resistance (eg, the
periorbital, scrotal, and labial regions). It can progress rapidly or slowly. Ultimately, it
becomes generalized and can be massive (anasarca). The edema is pitting and
typically dependent in nature, being more noticeable in the face in the morning and
predominantly in lower extremities later in the day. (Lane JC, 2015)
A history of a respiratory tract infection immediately preceding the onset of
nephrotic syndrome is frequent, but the relevance to causation is uncertain. Upper
respiratory infections, otitis media, and other infections are often associated with
relapses of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) as well. Approximately 30% of
children have a history of allergy. A hypersensitivity event, such as a reaction to bee
sting or poison ivy, has been reported to precede the onset of INS in some cases.
(Niaudet P, 2004)
Children with nephrotic syndrome occasionally present with gross hematuria.
The frequency of macrohematuria depends on the histological subtype of nephrotic
syndrome.
It
is
more
common
in
patients
with
membranoproliferative
2.6 Classification
Nephrotic syndrome can be divided into primary (idiopathic) and secondary
causes. Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome refers to that which is not associated with
another identifiable systemic disease. Outside these 2 major groupings, there are 2
subsets that are based on age of presentation: CNS and infantile nephrotic syndrome.
Patients with the latter condition typically present between ages 3 months and 1 year.
Some prenatal signs that are nonspecific but may suggest CNF are an enlarged
placenta apparent on ultrasonogram in addition to elevated maternal serum and
amniotic fluid -fetoprotein levels. If CNF is suspected in families with known risk
factors, genetic testing can be performed. (Andolino TP, 2015)
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome can be further subdivided based on histologic
information gathered via percutaneous renal biopsy. The 3 major subgroups are
MCNS (also known as minimal change disease), FSGS, and membranous
nephropathy (MN). MCNS is the most common form of nephrotic syndrome in
school-aged children. On light microscopy, the glomeruli appear histologically
normal, hence the name minimal change disease. Although light microscopy findings
are normal, inspection by electron microscopy reveals fusion of the foot processes.
FSGS describes what is found histologically: some glomeruli can be normal, whereas
others exhibit segmental areas of sclerosis or scarring. Diffuse thickening of the
capillary walls of the glomeruli are histologically characteristic of MN. There are
other glomerulopathies that can present with nephrotic syndrome, including IgA
nephropathy, lupus
nephritis,
and
membranoproliferative

an infusion will place the child at risk for congestive heart failure. Accordingly,
intravenous albumin should be infused continuously over 8 to 12 hours under close
supervision. (Roth KS, 2002)
As intravascular space expands, renal perfusion improves, and with it, the
opportunity to reduce accumulated fluid volume is enhanced. Administration of a
diuretic is the obvious means by which to maximize this opportunity. Keeping in
mind that a normal or low serum sodium concentration is likely to represent the result
of a dilutional effect, the choice of diuretic should be directed at sodium as well as at
water excretion. An ideal choice is a loop diuretic such as furosemide, which can be
administered at a dose of 1 to 2 mg/kg intravenously and acts within 15 minutes. A
portion of the calculated furosemide dose can be administered during the albumin
infusion or it all can be administered at the end of the infusion, depending on the
volume of urine output and the degree of edema. (Roth KS, 2002)
The child should be started on oral corticosteroid therapy after a negative
tuberculosis skin test result has been determined. Prednisone is the usual drug of
choice, and the recommended maximum daily dose is 60 mg/m 2 or 2 mg/kg. The
daily dose should be maintained for 4 to 6 weeks. Opinion varies regarding this
recommendation, ranging from daily treatment administered just long enough to
achieve remission to 6 weeks of daily treatment. Following remission, the dose
should be kept constant while changing to an alternate-day schedule for an additional
6 weeks. (Roth KS, 2002)
Fluid balance must be monitored closely in the early stages of treatment.
Optimal nutrition, including high-quality protein in amounts required for growth, is
essential because the demand for albumin replacement is increased. The child should
follow a no salt-added diet, with maintenance sodium provided for replacement
during diuresis. Daily weights are key to assessing the therapeutic progress. Other
adjunctive treatment, such as anticoagulation therapy, should be used judiciously. If

CHAPTER 4
DISCUSSION
The patient is a 1 years 5 months old boy. Nephrotic syndrome often occurs in
93% in children compared to adults.
The patient was admitted to the hospital with a chief complaint of swelling
throughout the body. Interstitial edema is a common clinical expression of Nephrotic
Syndrome. Expansion of the interstitial compartment is secondary to the
accumulation of sodium in the extracellular compartment, due to an imbalance
between oral or parenteral sodium intake and urinary sodium output, along with
alterations of fluid transfer across the capillary walls.
Edema is the presenting symptom in about 95% of children with nephrotic
syndrome. Early on, the edema is intermittent and insidious, and its presence may not
be appreciated. A common story is for the child to present to a primary care
practitioner repeatedly for periorbital edema, which is ascribed to "allergies" until the
edema progresses. One of the clinical manifestations of nephrotic syndrome is edema
usually appears first in areas of low tissue resistance (eg, the periorbital, scrotal, and
labial regions). It can progress rapidly or slowly. Ultimately, it becomes generalized
and can be massive (anasarca). In this case, Patients has a history of swelling on the
eyes first then it is followed by general swelling throughout the abdomen and to the
extremities causing the edema to be massive (anasarca).
Patient was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome due to hypoalbuminemia.
Hypoalbuminemia is a low level of albumin (a protein) in the blood due to
proteinuria. Low albumin in the blood causes fluid to move from the blood into the
tissue, causing swelling. The kidney perceives the decrease of fluid in the blood and
aggressively retains as much fluid and salt as it can. This contributes to the body's
fluid-overload state.
