AB  - Nephrotic  syndrome  is  one  of  the  most  common  renal  diseases  in  childhood.  In  recent  estimates,  idiopathic  nephrotic  syndrome,  the  most  common  type,  occurs  in  about  16  per  100,000  children.1  Nephrotic  syndrome  is  caused  by  problems  with  the  selective  permeability  of  the  glomerular  filtration  system.  It  is  diagnosed  by  four  key  clinical  features:  proteinuria,  hypoalbuminemia,  edema,  and  hyperlipidemia.  The  most  common  types  of  childhood  nephrotic  syndrome  are  responsive  to  steroids  and  can  be  managed  on  an  outpatient  basis.
