Nephrotic Syndrome* ; Prenatal Diagnosis*

The authors compared the results from urine protein electrophoresis of nephrotic adults with those from routine examinations, anapathologic findings and corticomonotherapy response. Urine electrophoresis was performed in Central Bio-Medical Laboratory of Hanoi Medical school, on Paragon-Beckman apparatus in 1% agarose gel, 100V in 30 minutes. Urine protein are estimated in percent directly on densitometer. Renal biopsy by aspiration needle under the US guidance was realized in BachMai Hospital and histological interpretations were given from the Department of Anapathology of Hanoi Medical school. Response to corticoid monotherapy was obtained by evaluation of 24h protein in the urine after 4 weeks of treatment. The obtained results from 8 primary nephrotic adults showed that the glomerular minimal changes were not always in accordance with the results from urine protein electrophoresis. Responses to therapy were met in patients having selective proteinuria and in some having nonselective proteinuria. All the studied patients having glomerular minimal changes responded completely the usual corticoid monotherapy

A case of congenital syphilitic nephrotic syndrome in 5-month old male infant was presented. The diagnosis was established by clinical, labortory, X-ray findings and good clinical response after penicillin therapy. A brief review of literature on syphilitic nephrotic syndrome was made.

In five years, there were 52 acute renal failure under 15 years old patients (6.19% of total nephrotic syndrome patients, male - 71.15% and female- 28.85%, under five year children- 38.46%). All had oedema and in the majority it was of medium and severe grade of oligouria and anuria occurred in 3/4 of patients. Normal blood pressure or lightly high blood pressure was recorded in all. In 95% of acute renal failure patients, blood albumin low or very low level was noted and in haft a total number of patients, blood sodium level was very low (130 mmol/l)

During the five-year period of 1991-1995, there were 840 children suffered from primary nephrotic syndrome including 52 of acute renal failure with a frequency of 6.19%. In treating, 35.72% of patients got a most rapid decrease of oedema, 66.67% remained lasting oedema, 19.23% got a urine volume restored after 3 days. Before the treatment, hypertension occupied 44.68% and after treatment 27.68% of patients. In 52 studied patients, good response to the treatment occurred in 44 (84.62)%, 8 (15.38%) got the chronic form of renal or died. In regard to laboratory data, in patients with light decrease of blood albumin level, renal function were well restored, while with large decrease, it was worse even could be transformed to chronic or deadly form. In 90% of patients, the BUN/blood creatinine ratio was 20

Study on all in-patients treated at Kidney Department of Bach Mai Hospital from 2000 to 2002, which divided into 2 groups: group 1 included 38 patients with lupus nephritis and nephrotic syndrome, group 2 included 45 patients with primary nephrotic syndrome (NS). Results: most of primary NS occurred before the age of 50 years old (95.6%), there was no difference between male and female. NS due to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) had multiple clinical signs and was more severe than in primary NS. The prevalence of renal impairment in both primary and secondary NS was high (44.4% and 55.3%, respectively). The serum protein concentration in primary NS was significant lower than secondary NS (p<0.01). Nevertheless, serum cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C concentrations in primary NS were significant higher than secondary NS (p<0.01). In primary NS, the rate of minimal change glomerulonephritis was highest (51.1%), but in secondary NS, mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis accounted for highest rate (63.2%). In type IV in secondary NS due to SLE, there were symptoms of hypertension, renal failure, hemorrhage and the histological damages were more severe than in other types (p<0.05). Histological lesions in secondary membrane and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis due to SLE were more severe than primary diseases.

The authors experienced a case of congenital nephrotic syndrom, who was 25 days old male infant. We had noted and made diagnosis according to the clinical feature sand laboratory findings such as: (1)Generaliged edema (2)Hypoalbuminemia (3)Hypercholesterolemia (4)Massive proteinuria We had studied on this rare case, and reviewed the literature and referencdes.

A Case of congenital syphilitic nephrosis in 2 momth old female infant was presented with a brief reveiw of literature. The diagnosis was estabished by clinical, laboratory and X-ray findings, and her clinical response was excellent with penicillin therapy.
