AB  - A  3-year-old  boy  has  had  intermittent  facial  swelling  for  the  past  3  weeks.  Symptoms  were  self-limited  and  attributed  to  seasonal  allergies.  He  awoke  with  significant  periorbital  and  facial  edema  (Figure  67-1),  and  pitting  edema  to  his  mid-tibia  bilaterally.  He  denies  any  abdominal  pain,  headache,  rash,  or  gross  hematuria.  His  evaluation  reveals  a  normal  blood  pressure,  normal  renal  function,  and  4+  protein  on  a  urine  dipstick.  He  was  presumptively  diagnosed  with  minimal  change  disease  and  started  on  a  course  of  prednisone.  His  edema  gradually  subsided  (Figure  67-2)  and  his  proteinuria  resolved  within  the  first  two  weeks  of  therapy.
