Minimal Change Disease (MCD)
![Page 26: Nephrotic syndrome in children - ohpl.com.fj · membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (4) Mesangial deposits, as in IgA nephropathy . Nephrotic Syndrome Vs Nephritic Syndrome Nephrotic](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062508/605c62fb7a13c00e0c46c4e3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
MCD
• Most frequent cause of NS in children
• Peak incidence: 2 – 6 years of age
• May follow respiratory infection or routine prophylactic immunization
• Relatively benign disorder
• Diffuse effacement of foot processes of visceral epithelial cells (podocytes)
• Detectable only by electron microscopy
• Glomeruli appear normal by light microscopy

MCD: Aetiology and Pathogenesis
• Absence of immune deposits in the glomerulus probably excludes classic immune complex mechanisms
• Several features of the disease point to an immunologic basis: • Clinical association with respiratory infections and prophylactic immunization
• Response to corticosteroids and/or other immunosuppressive therapy
• Association with other atopic disorders (e.g., eczema, rhinitis)
• Increased prevalence of certain HLA haplotypes in patients with MCD
• Increased incidence of MCD in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (defects in T-cell mediated immunity)

MCD: Aetiology and Pathogenesis
• Current hypothesis: • MCD involves some immune dysfunction
• Results in the elaboration of factors (angiopoietin-like-4)
• These factors damage visceral epithelial cells
• Ultrastructural changes point to a primary visceral epithelial cell injury (podocytopathy)
• Causes defects in the charge barrier
• May contribute to the proteinuria

Nephrotic Syndrome Vs Nephritic Syndrome Nephrotic](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062508/605c62fb7a13c00e0c46c4e3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Normal glomerular basement membrane:
with healthy podocyte foot processes,
serum proteins, mainly albumin, remain
within the glomerular capillary lumen.
• Disregulated immune system modifies
this integrity.
• Therefore, the actin cytoskeleton of the
podocyte and the glomerular basement
membrane are disrupted.
• Albumin and other serum proteins filter
out of the bloodstream and into the
urinary space.
• This leads to the intense proteinuria seen in nephrotic syndrome.

MCD: Aetiology and Pathogenesis
• What is the actual route by which protein traverses the epithelial cell portion of the capillary wall? Ans: Remains an enigma
• Possibilities include • Transcellular passage through the epithelial cells
• Passage through residual spaces between remaining but damaged foot processes
• Passage through abnormal spaces developing underneath the portion of the foot process that directly abuts the basement membrane
• Leakage through foci in which the epithelial cells have become detached from the basement

MCD: Morphology
• Light microscopy: Normal glomeruli
• Electron microscopy: GBM normal and no electron-dense material is deposited
• Principal lesion: In the visceral epithelial cells - uniform and diffuse effacement of foot processes
• Corticosteroid therapy: completely reverses visceral epithelial changes – remission of the proteinuria

MCD: Morphology
• Foot process effacement : other proteinuric states (e.g., membranous glomerulopathy, diabetic nephropathy)
• Effacement + normal glomeruli by light microscopy = MCD
• The cells of the proximal tubules: often laden with lipid and protein
• Reflects tubular reabsorption of lipoproteins passing through diseased glomeruli
• The historical name “lipoid nephrosis”
• Immunofluorescence microscopy: No Ig or complement deposits

MCD: Take-home Message
• Commonest cause of NS among children
• Normal glomerulus by light microscopy
• No immune complex deposition
• Primary lesion – visceral epithelial cells
• Despite massive proteinuria, renal function remains good
• Commonly no hypertension or hematuria
• Proteinuria: usually highly selective, most of the protein – albumin
• Characteristic feature: dramatic response to corticosteroid therapy
• Most children (>90%) respond rapidly to this treatment
• Long-term prognosis is excellent
• Steroid-dependent disease usually resolves by puberty
