Abstract
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is the most frequent glomerular disease in the childhood with incidence of 2–7/100000 children/year. NS can be divided regarding the age of occurence, possible familiar appearance, whether it is a part of certain syndrome or comes alone, whether it affects the kidney only or it apears together with other diseases. According the pathohistological characteristics, NS can be divided in minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, difusse mesangial sclerosis, and IgM nephropathy. In this article we discuss actual guidelines for the management and therapy of NS.
