- W4386001650 abstract "Background: Minimal change disease (MCD) has been shown to be a common histological presentation in children presenting with nephrotic syndrome (NS) in developed countries. In Africa, information on clinical and histological characteristics of paediatric NS is scarce. This study assessed the characteristics and histological subtypes of NS.
 Methods: This was a prospective study that consecutively indexed children aged 2-16 years with the diagnosis of NS who were referred to the largest tertiary teaching hospital, Lusaka, Zambia. Thirteen children presenting with NS were biopsied under ultrasound guidance after ethical approval. The primary outcome of the study was to describe the histological characteristics of paediatric NS.
 Results: Thirteen children of African descent with a median age of onset of NS of 9.25 years (2.0-15.0) were enrolled in the study. The histopathologic lesions were as follows; four had MCD, four had focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), one had immune complex mediated glomerulonephritis (ICMN) and four were inconclusive. Haematuria was present in eight out of 13 patients (61.5%) and hypertension was present in five of 13 patients (38.0%). Three children did not have either haematuria or hypertension. Ten of the 13 participants had primary steroid resistance. 
 Conclusion: This study has demonstrated the need to perform a pre-treatment renal biopsy in paediatric patients presenting with NS in view of the atypical presentation, variable histopathologic findings, and unpredictable response to steroid therapy." @default.
