Prevention Minimal change disease Definition: Minimal change disease is a kidney disorder. Each kidney is made of more than a million units called nephrons. Each nephron has a tuft of blood vessels called a glomerulus, which is surrounded by a Bowman's Capsule. Together, these structures filter blood and form urine. Minimal change disease is one cause of nephrotic syndrome . It is named "minimal change" because the nephrons appear totally normal under a light microscope. The condition is only seen using an electron microscope, which reveals changes in the Bowman's Capsule in the nephrons. Urine tests also show high protein levels.

Alternative Names: Minimal change nephrotic syndrome; Nil disease; Lipoid nephrosis; Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome of childhood Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Minimal change disease is one cause of nephrotic syndrome . It is named because under a light microscope the glomeruli appear totally normal. Under an electron microscope characteristic changes in the glomeruli can be seen, including the fusion of a portion of the epithelial layer. Minimal change disease is most common in children but occasionally occurs in adults. The cause is unknown, but the disease may be preceded by viral infection, allergic reactions or recent immunizations. Minimal change disease does not reduce the amount of urine produced. It rarely progresses to

It describes a clinical condition of edema and proteinuria in which the renal histology (light microscopy) demonstrates fatty degeneration of the tubules associated with normal appearing glomeruli. Briefly, the name was modified to lipoid nephrosis after the routine finding of lipid droplets in the urine of affected patients. The subcategories of PNS are based on histologic descriptions, but clinical-pathological correlations have been made. Even though knowledge of specific causes of NS are too limited for more precise classification, the variants of PNS/INS will be considered as clinical disease states with well-defined histopathologic processes. The histologic type at onset makes it possible to generalize about such things as response to therapy and ultimate prognosis. When possible, the authors use the definitions, descriptions, and nomenclature developed by the International Study of Kidney Diseases in Children (ISKDC). Most attention will be devoted to minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) with only modest attention to familial or congenital nephrosis, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), and membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN).
