Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2016 Minimal change disease (MCD) is a major cause of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS), characterized by intense proteinuria leading to edema and intravascular volume depletion. In adults, it accounts for approximately 15% of patients with idiopathic NS, reaching a much higher percentage at younger ages, up to 70%–90% in children >1 year of age. In the

Steroid Minimization in Adults with Minimal Change Disease [PDF]
Glomerular Diseases, 2021 <b><i>Background:</i></b> Minimal change disease (MCD) causes approximately 10% of nephrotic syndrome in adults. While glucocorticoids (GCs) effectively induce remission in MCD, the disease has a high relapse rate (50–75%), and repeated exposure to GCs is often required.

Nursing, 2019 Abstract: Although minimal change disease (MCD) is a major cause of nephrotic syndrome in children, it's less common in adults. It develops from damage to the glomeruli with a loss of large amounts of protein in the urine. Early recognition and treatment is the key to a good outcome.

Angiopoietin-like-4 and minimal change disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 BACKGROUND:Minimal Change Disease (MCD) is the most common type of nephrotic syndrome in children. Angiopoietin-like-4 (Angplt4) has been proposed as mediator of proteinuria in MCD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of Angptl4 as a biomarker

Minimal change disease and malaria [PDF]
Clinical Kidney Journal, 2018 Malaria is a tropical disease secondary to the Plasmodium parasite with clinical features ranging from febrile illness to acute renal failure and further renal sequelae. We present a case of a woman minimal change disease secondary to Plasmodium falciparum who developed nephrotic range proteinuria and ultimately acute renal failure requiring renal ...

Minimal change disease associated with Graves’ disease and methimazole use
Revista Colombiana de Nefrología, 2022 Introduction. Graves' disease causes kidney injury through multiple mechanisms, including the treatment for this condition. Nephrotic syndrome due to minimal change disease (MCD) is an unusual form of such kidney injury; the association between ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Proteinuria in Minimal Change Disease
Frontiers in Medicine, 2021 Minimal change disease (MCD) is the most common type of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in childhood and represents about 15% cases in adults. It is characterized by massive proteinuria, edema, hypoalbuminemia, and podocyte foot process effacement on ...

Predictive Parameters of Steroid Dependency in Minimal Change Disease
The Journal of Pediatric Academy, 2022 The most common type of nephrotic syndrome in children is minimal change disease (MCD), which is usually responsive to steroid therapy. Steroid dependency is one of the handicaps in the management of these children.
