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.
Frequent relapses
Steroid dependence
Steroid resistance
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 post-streptococcal 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, non-neurogenic 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
glomerulonephritis (MPGN) than in other causes, but its frequency in minimal change
nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) has been reported to be as high as 3-4% of cases. (Lane
JC, 2015)
Statistically, a higher percentage of patients with focal segmental
glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) have microhematuria than those with MCNS, but this is not
helpful in differentiating between types of nephrotic syndrome in the individual patient.
(Lane JC, 2015)
Given the risk of thrombosis in INS, renal vein thrombosis must be considered
in patients with significant hematuria. Rarely, a child can present with other symptoms
secondary to thrombosis, such as seizure caused by cerebral thrombosis. (Lane JC,
2015)
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 glomerulonephritis (MPGN), and often present with a
nephritic/nephrotic picture, with hematuria in addition to proteinuria. Aside from
histologic features, children with nephrotic syndrome can be further classified by their
response to corticosteroid therapy. (Andolino TP, 2015)

high molecular weight. Thrombin also is increased, while fibrinolytic activity and
circulating quantities of platelet adhesion inhibitors are decreased. As a consequence
of these changes, as well as the intravascular hypovolemia, affected patients are at
greatly increased risk of thrombosis. In addition, IgG in plasma is reduced, which in
combination with large steroid doses, may predispose to infection. (Roth KS, 2002)
Children who become oliguric from diminished intravascular volume have a
tendency to develop hyperkalemia. The use of diuretics may complicate the electrolyte
disturbances further, necessitating close monitoring of serum electrolyte levels during
treatment. (Roth KS, 2002)
Minimal change nephrotic syndrome usually begins in early childhood. Such
children usually have normal blood pressure, no blood in the urine and normal blood
levels of urea and creatinine. Children fitting this description are treated with
prednisolone without the need for a biopsy. If the child does not show reduction in
urinary protein excretion after a sufficient period of time, a kidney biopsy may be done.
Children with blood in their urine, high blood pressure and reduced kidney function
require a biopsy. (Srivastava RN, 2005)
2.9 Treatment
The intuitive solution to the diminished oncotic pressure is to restore serum
albumin concentration to better than 2 g/dL (20 g/L) by intravenous infusion. However,
the effectiveness of this measure is reduced considerably because of the
hypoalbuminemia resulting from glomerular leakage of serum protein. The degree of
urinary loss can be illustrated by the hepatic rate of albumin synthesis, which in adults
can be as high as 12 to 14 g/d. If a patient becomes hypoalbuminemic at such
endogenous rates of replacement, it is apparent that replacement by infusion can only
be a temporary remedy. Nonetheless, for a patient who has pulmonary edema or renal
shutdown, intravenous albumin (1 g/kg of a 25% solution) can be very effective in
mobilizing fluid into the vascular space. The rate of increase in oncotic pressure is
13
directly proportional to the rate of expansion of intravascular volume. Thus, too rapid
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/m2 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

3.0 Prognosis
Mortality in minimal-change nephrotic syndrome is approximately 2%, with
the majority of deaths due to peritonitis or thrombus. 98% of children who have
minimal change nephrosis, most are steroid-responsive and can be expected to return
eventually to a normal state. Minimal-change nephrotic syndrome results in relapses;
about two thirds of patients experience at least a single relapse, with another third
possibly developing a protracted series of such relapses over many years
