- W1998273669 abstract "1. Roberto Gordillo, MD*2. Adrian Spitzer, MD† 1. *Postdoctoral Fellow2. †Professor of Pediatrics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Children's Hospital at Montefiore, Division of Pediatric Nephrology, Bronx, NYAfter completing this article, readers should be able to: 1. Explain the mechanism and the consequences of proteinuria.2. Make a presumptive diagnosis of minimal-change nephrotic syndrome.3. Interpret the signs associated with steroid resistance.4. Ascertain the timing and the indications for a kidney biopsy.5. Gauge the indications for referral to a pediatric nephrologist.6. Determine the adequacy of the therapy.7. Predict the disease course.The word “nephrosis” was introduced in the medical literature at the beginning of the 20th century in an attempt to distinguish diseases of the kidney characterized by exudation and proliferation from those characterized by inflammation (nephritis). As it became apparent that this is not a single disease, not even a group of related diseases, the term “nephrosis” was supplanted by “nephrotic syndrome.” The clinical features that characterize the nephrotic syndrome result from alterations of the glomerular capillary wall and consist of heavy proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia, often associated with edema and generalized hyperlipidemia.### Proteinuria and HypoalbuminemiaProteinuria is the result of alterations in the integrity of the glomerular filtration barrier. This barrier is composed of three layers in series: the fenestrated endothelium, the glomerular basement membrane, and the visceral glomerular epithelium, comprised of podocytes and their slit diaphragms. Podocyte is the name of the epithelial cell, and foot process is the segment of the cell that extends into the urinary space. (In the nephrotic syndrome, there is effacement of the foot process, but the rest of the cell usually is preserved.)Endothelial cells have numerous openings that are 70 to 100 nm in diameter, called fenestrae, which form a physical barrier for passage of macromolecules from plasma into the renal tubule. Electron microscopic studies led to the identification of negatively charged particles (heparan sulfate proteoglycans) in the glomerular basement membrane, which preclude the passage of anionic macromolecules, such as albumin. Removal of these …" @default.
