Associazione Siciliana per la Prevenzione e la Terapia delle Nefropatie A.S.P.N. Lettura del Prof. Cameron J Stewart Cameron, Jackie Hicks Renal Unit, Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital King's College, London UK THE ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONCEPT OF A "NEPHROTIC SYNDROME" Dropsy, and early descriptions of proteinuria and renal alterations associated with it The cardinal symptom of the nephrotic sydrome is edema, (anasarca, dropsy). During the sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century the general view was that"dropsy" was a disorder per se, one of the many types of swellings, local and general: physicians did not ask themselves what the "cause" of a dropsy might be; the patient "had" a dropsy. Thus when Samuel Johnson died dropsical in 1784 there was no speculation as to its "origin", and the fact that his kidneys were grossly diseased was noted only incidentally at the post mortem. This contemporary attitude to dropsy makes the observations of the early paediatrician Theodor Zwinger (1658-1724) of Basel, Switzerland in 1722 all the more remarkable, in that he unequivocally attributed the condition to disease in the renal tubules [1,2] since in paediatric practice, liver and heart disease would rarely have been present as causes of generalised edema.

RENAL UNIT CASE 7 Answers: 1. Nephrotic syndrome. Poor appetite - possible intestinal edema, ascites. Tired and listless - possibly relative hypotension due to fluid shift. Puffy eyes, edema and nocturia-edema collects in dependent areas (high venous pressure) during the day, in areas of loose connective tissue about the eyes when head is lower at night. Recumbent posture allows some mobilization of fluid from legs at night and therefore nocturia. Apparent weight gain is fluid. Review lecture notes on proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome. 2.

Article Outline Abstract Pathogenesis Pathology Clinical Presentation and Course ... Citing Articles Figures/Tables Table 1 Abstract TOP Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), the leading glomerular cause of the nephrotic syndrome among African Americans, is typically associated with edema, proteinuria, hypertension, microscopic hematuria, and renal insufficiency. Recent studies suggest that either the incidence of FSGS has increased or an increased number of biopsies of African American patients have made the diagnosis more common. The collapsing variant of FSGS, which occurs more commonly in African Americans than in whites, carries an especially poor prognosis with respect to renal survival. Although the pathogenesis of FSGS is not well understood, the fact that it frequently recurs early after transplantation has led to speculation that patients with FSGS may have a circulating factor that leads to increased glomerular permeability. There are no randomized control trials of treatment regimens for FSGS. Steroids, alkylating agents, and cyclosporin have all been used with variable results to treat FSGS.

You may receive instructions on how much salt to allow in your diet. Corticosteroids can cure minimal change disease in a vast majority of children. Some patients may require maintenance on steroids to sustain the remission. A minority of children may relapse after they stop taking steroids. If that happens, they usually respond well to a repeat course of the steroids. Adults do not respond to steroids quite as well as children, but a majority still do find steroids effective. The frequency of relapses and steroid dependence may be greater in adults. Frequent relapsers (more than 3 relapses) may need cytotoxic therapy. In most cases, this involves a course of cyclophosphamide. Other medicines that have been used include cyclosporine and chlorambucil.
