What lab Findings might you find in a child with MCNS? Hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, hyponatremia (Why??), low serum calcium (iCa is normal), UPr/Cr ratio >3
What would the initial treatment for a child with MCNS be?? Prednisone
When would you consider other agents (alkylating agents)?? frequent relapsers
What would be your differential diagnosis for nephrotic syndrome? • If hematuria is a factor???
What would be your differential diagnosis for nephrotic syndrome? MCNS, FSGS, CGN MPGN, Lupus Nephritis, IgA Nephritis

A 4-year-old boy presents with swelling of the face and extremities of 2 days’ duration. Physical examination reveals an otherwise happy child who has swelling of the face and pitting edema of all extremities. Vital signs and the rest of the physical examination findings are normal. Urinalysis shows 4+ proteinuria and 5 red blood cells per high-power field. Of the following, the most likely abnormality on histologic examination of this boy’s kidney is: A. Deposition of immunoglobulin A in mesangium. B. Diffuse thickening of glomerular capillary walls. C. Fusion of epithelial foot processes only. D. Mesangial cell proliferation and thickening of Bowman capsule. E. Scar tissue in segments of some glomeruli.

Physical examination reveals an otherwise happy child who has swelling of the face and pitting edema of all extremities. Vital signs and the rest of the physical examination findings are normal. Urinalysis shows 4+ proteinuria and 5 red blood cells per high-power field. Of the following, the best indicator of good outcome for this child is: A. Normal C3 complement value. B. Normal serum creatinine concentration. C. Resolution of symptoms with prednisone treatment. D. Serum cholesterol less than 500 mg/dL (13.0 mmol/L). E. Urine protein:creatinine ratio less than 5.

You are treating a 9-year-old girl who has nephrotic syndrome with prednisone. Which of the following is the strongest indication for performing renal biopsy? A. Lack of response to therapy after 1 week. B. Microscopic hematuria showing more than 5 red blood cells per high-power field in urine. C. Reduced serum concentration of C3 complement. D. Serum albumin less than 1.5 g/dL (15 g/L). E. Urine protein:creatinine ratio of 1 at presentation.

A 6-year-old girl is admitted for swelling of her face and extremities. Findings on her physical examination and vital signs are normal except for generalized anasarca. Urinalysis shows 4+ protein with no casts or red blood cells. Serum albumin is 1.3 g/dL (13 g/L), cholesterol is 550 mg/dL (14.2 mmol/L), and creatinine is 0.4 mg/dL (35.4 mcmol/L). This patient is at greatest risk for: A. Centrilobular hepatic necrosis. B. Cerebral edema. C. Congestive heart failure. D. Myoglobinuric renal failure. E. Peritonitis.

A 4-year-old boy is seen in the emergency department because of recurrent facial swelling. The mother reports that the boy has been evaluated by her pediatrician on several occasions with a similar complaint. Each time the boy was treated with 3- to 5-day courses of an antihistamine or oral steroid. The mother maintains full adherence with these treatment recommendations. Physical examination shows a healthy-appearing boy who has normal growth parameters. He is afebrile with a respiratory rate of 18 breaths/min, heart rate of 84 beats/min, and blood pressure of 90/60 mm Hg. The only finding of significance is facial puffiness and periorbital edema (Item Q232).
Of the following, the MOST appropriate next step is to A. obtain C1 esterase concentration B. obtain a specimen for urinalysis C. prescribe a 5-day course of diphenhydramine and prednisone D. reassure the mother and discharge the patient home E. refer the patient for an allergy evaluation

A 14-year-old boy is brought to the emergency department after being struck by a car. On arrival, he is unresponsive and hypotensive. You intubate him endotracheally, place two large-bore intravenous lines, and infuse 3 L of 0.9% saline. Following these measures, his heart rate is 100 beats/min and blood pressure is 100/60 mm Hg. On secondary survey, you find a large swelling on the back of his head, a distended abdomen, blood at the urethral meatus, guaiac-positive stool, and a right femur fracture. Of the following, the procedure that is CONTRAINDICATED in this patient is
