Proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome, how to treat it

Abstract

The majority begin between 2 and 10 years, corresponding to idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome (INS) or primary NS in 90%.2 The incidence in paediatric population less than 16 years old is 2-7 new cases per 100,000 children per year, with a prevalence of 15 cases per 100,000 children. It occurs preferably between 2 and 8 years of age, with maximum incidence between 3-5 years. In children it is twice as frequent in males, a difference that does not exist in adolescents and adults.
