from Section 2 - Glomerular Diseases
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 August 2023
This chapter discusses exclusively the pathology and molecular genetics of non-immune-complex mediated glomerular diseases characterized predominantly by proteinuria due to defects in the podocyte filtration barrier. The clinical classification of steroid sensitive and steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome and histopathology patterns are discussed in parallel or interchangeably. More than 50 podocyte gene mutations associated with nephrotic syndrome have been identified. These have changed the management and general outlook of childhood nephrotic glomerular diseases. A detail account of the genetics of nephrotic syndrome associated glomerular pathologies is provided in the section “Molecular Pathology.”
