The Unknown Kidney Disease ® Nephrotic Syndrome is a medical term that describes symptoms that appear when the filtering cells inside the kidney (glomeruli) are damaged. The most common symptoms include severe swelling around eyes, ankles, feet, and abdomen, weight gain from excess fluid retention, and foamy urine due to proteinuria. It is not yet understood why Nephrotic Syndrome develops, and there currently is no cure for the syndrome. However, treatments for its symptoms are available.

What We Know
Minimal Change Disease (MCD)
- Almost 85% of children with symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome have Minimal Change Disease
- Most common in adults over the age of 40
- Approximately 40% of MN cases progress to end-stage renal failure
- FSGS is a chronic, lifelong disease. Most individuals diagnosed with FSGS will live with its e�ects their entire life
- In 30% to 50% of cases, FSGS will redevelop after a kidney transplant
- 5,400+ individuals are estimated to be diagnosed with FSGS yearly
Membranous Nephropathy (MN)
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
With the proper funding and support, this syndrome can be cured. Visit us at NephCure.org to donate.
When damaged, the kidney’s glomeruli
cease to properly filter the blood and allow important proteins to leave the body
through urine.
Primary Types of Nephrotic Syndrome
How Far We Have To Go
The silent epidemic
While 1 in 7 Americans has chronic kidney disease, almost 50% of individuals near kidney failure have
no idea they have kidney disease
Dialysis ortransplantation
is needed for survival when the
kidneys fail
The transplantwaiting list
is almost 3 times larger than the number
of transplants performed yearly Dialysis is
not a curefor kidney failure. After 3
years of dialysis, the mortality rate is
almost 50%
Nephrotic Syndrome
is a leading cause of kidney failure, responsible for 12%
of cases in adults and 20% in children
Few FDAapproved
treatmentsfor Nephrotic
Syndrome diseases are currently
available
