    Nephrotic syndrome

    Introduction: The nephrotic syndrome is defined by a set of biological signs secondary to proteinuria sufficiently abundant to cause disturbances in plasma. It combines proteinuria classically greater than 50 mg / kg / 24 h and albumin less than 30 g / L.In fact, when the plasma albumin level is very low, the concentration of urinary…

    Complications of nephrotic syndrome

    Introduction: Nephrotic syndrome (SN) is defined as proteinuria greater than 3 g / d with hypoalbuminemia below 30 g / l. For many authors, SN is better defined by an abundant proteinuria greater than 3 g / d, without mentioning threshold values ​​of albuminemia and protidemia which are arbitrary, all the more so as the complications…

    Nephrotic syndrome with minimal acquired glomerular lesions

    Introduction: The nephrotic syndrome with minimal glomerular lesions (SN-LGM) is characterized clinically by a nephrotic syndrome pure and histologically by minimal ultrastructural abnormalities consisting of an eradication of the pedicels. This is the most common cause of SN in children. Most forms are corticosensitive, but relapses are possible. Significant progress has been made in recent years in…

    – The definition is biological: • proteinuria 50 mg / kg / 24 hours in children and 3 g / 24 hours in adults • hypoalbuminemia less than 30 g / liter • hypoproteinemia less than 60 g / liter – Clinically, edema and oliguria are often associated, but not always. We distinguish : –…
