Abstract:
When the nephrotic syndrome develops within the first 3 months of life it is considered as congenital. In a review, different types of renal diseases are found behind the syndrome in early infancy. A classification of these is proposed, based on clinicopathology. Five classes with subgroups are described, and the necessity of recognizing these for prognosis, therapy and genetic counselling is emphasized.
