Conditions and diseases of the human kidney.
An inherited disorder involving damage to the kidney, blood in the urine, and in some families loss of hearing. The disorder may also include loss of vision.
Congenital nephrosis was the first monogenic entity found to be enriched in the Finnish population. This nephrotic syndrome of newborns is due to a deficiency of nephrine, a transmembrane podocyte adhesion molecule at the glomerular slit diaphragm. The disease is detected soon after delivery of a baby with a large placenta. Proteinuria, ascites, edema, and hypoproteinemia are the main findings; causing to failure to thrive and susceptibility to infections. The nephrotic manifestations are resistant to conventional drug therapy and without renal transplantation the patients succumb during the first two years of life.

A disorder of the kidneys that affects the structures (glomeruli) which include small capillaries surrounded by membranes through which the blood is filtered to form urine.
Nephrotic syndrome occurs when the filters in the kidney leak an excessive amount of protein. The level of protein in the blood then falls and this allows fluid to leak across very small blood vessels into the tissues.
