This case study describes a 2-year-old child diagnosed with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS), a kidney disorder. Treatment involved diuretics, steroids, and an ACE inhibitor, with monitoring of fluid balance.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Nephrology
- Glomerular Diseases
Background:
- Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a significant glomerular disorder in children.
- Characterized by proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema.
Observation:
- A 2-year-old male presented with generalized edema, fever, cough, and reduced urine output.
- Clinical findings included bilateral pedal edema and laboratory evidence of proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia.
Findings:
- Despite the inability to perform a kidney biopsy due to financial constraints, a diagnosis of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome was established.
- The patient received furosemide, prednisolone, and enalapril for treatment.
Implications:
- This case highlights the clinical diagnosis and management of nephrotic syndrome in resource-limited settings.
- Effective management relies on clinical presentation, laboratory data, and supportive care, including fluid balance monitoring.
