DISCUSSION
A boy, 10-years-5-months hospitalized with swelling in eyelids, face, both
legs, scrotum and abdomen since 1 weeks and getting worse since 3 days prior
to admission. 11 months earlier the patient complained of the same thing and
was treated for nephrotic syndrome by receiving steroid therapy and was
declared cured after outpatient treatment. Diagnosed as having infrequent
relapse nephrotic syndrome. The problem in this case are about the
determination of diagnosis, the type of nephrotic syndrome, how to treat the
infrequent relapse nephrotic syndrome condition, the complication, and the
prognosis.
In general, the causes of edema formation were based on five
mechanisms which are an increase of intravascular hydrostatic pressure, a
decrease of plasma oncotic pressure, an increase of capillary permeability, the
obstruction of lymphatic flow, and the disturbance of sodium and fluid regulation
of the body. Therefore, edema can be found in diseases that involve the kidney,
heart, liver, or in malnutrition. In such children with nefrotic syndrome, the
selective loss of large amounts of albumin in the urine leads to hypoalbuminemia
and decreased plasma oncotic pressure favoring fluid sequestration in the
interstitial fluid compartment, and secondarily triggers renal Na+ and fluid
retention so as to preserve intravascular volume and blood pressure, hence
preventing an “underfill” state.1,2 In this case, a history of disease, physical
examination and laboratory examination, the cause of edema is due to a
decrease in oncotic pressure due to protein leakage in the kidneys resulting in
hypoalbuminemia which causes a decrease in oncotic pressure which retains
fluid in the blood resulting in extravasation of fluid that causes edema.
Relapse in children with nephrotic syndrome leads to a variety of
complications due to prolonged treatment and potential dependency on steroids.
More than half of children with nephrotic syndrome suffer one or more relapses
and most of them occur within the first six months. Around 80% of children with
steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome experience relapse in developed countries.
Having undernutrition, high triglyceride at initiation, baseline low serum albumin

23
level, and rural residence were found to be independent predictors of relapse. 3
(Level of evidence 3B). The duration of steroid treatment in the first attack of
nephrotic syndrome can be a risk factor for relapse. The results of meta-analysis
suggest that the International Study of Kidney Disease in Children (ISKDC)
steroid regimen using 8 weeks of steroid treatment for a first episode of steroid-
sensitive nephrotic syndrome may not be equally effective as the 12 weeks
Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Pädiatrische Nephrologie (APN) steroid regimen in terms
of time to first relapse and relapse rates at 12 months and at total follow-up.
Relapse rate ratios during total follow-up were 51% higher for the 8 weeks
regimen.4 (Level of evidence 1A).
The cause of the idiopathic nephrotic syndrome remains unknown, but
some observations provide important clues to the primary pathogenesis of
idiopathic nephrotic syndrome such as mutations in genes that encode important
podocyte proteins; a plasma factor that alters glomerular permeability, especially
among patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome; and the altered of T-
lymphocyte responses which result in the production of a permeability factor that
interferes with the expression, function, or both, of key podocyte proteins to cause
proteinuria. A Recent study shows increased systemic production of
representative cytokines, chiefly IL-4 in NS patients. In vitro studies suggest that
podocytes express receptors for IL-4 and IL-13. Activation of these receptors, by
respective cytokines, might disrupt glomerular permeability resulting in
proteinuria.5
The most common etiology of nephrotic syndrome is idiopathic nephrotic
syndrome. Cases with corticosteroids treatment failure, showing underlying
pathology and age more than 8 years indications for renal biopsy to detect and
assess tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis as prognostic
markers. Therefore, once a child is defined because of having steroid resistance
nephrotic syndrome, a kidney biopsy should be performed according to current
standards to determine the underlying pathology.6 In this case the patient was
not indicated for a kidney biopsy because the patient was still sensitive to steroid
treatment and experienced 1 relapse in the span of 11 months.

24
The classic nephrotic syndrome presentation is edema, in the early phase
is located in the face in the morning on waking with puffiness of the eyelids and
the impression of the folds of sheets on the skin and ankles at the end of the day.
Without measure corrective, they become more pronounced, diffuse and lead to
anasarca with ascites, hydrocele or pleural effusion, may also be revealed by a
complication such as hypovolemia, infection (pneumonia and peritonitis due to
Streptococcus pneumoniae), deep-vein or arterial thromboses, and pulmonary
embolism. Moderate arterial hypertension is present in 25% cases, and
hypotension may reveal a state of effective hypovolemia. Functional renal failure
is possible. Microscopic hematuria is noted in about 20% of cases, macroscopic
hematuria being exceptional and having to make look for thrombosis of the renal
veins.7 This patient experienced clinical signs of edema in both eyes and face
that spread to both legs, abdomen and scrotum. This patient also had
microscopic hematuria.
Important finding in laboratory test were massive proteinuria (40 ≥
mg/h/m2 or dipstick urine >+2) + hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin ≤ 2.5 g/dL)
or edema and hyper-lipidemia with total cholesterol of 170- 200 mg/dL.8,9 In this
case, the level of protein in urine was +3 and serum albumin level was 1,1 gr/dL.
The majority of children who present with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome
have minimal change disease (MCD), which is generally responsive to steroid
therapy (85 - 90 %). Steroid-responsive nephrotic syndrome was defined as
patients achieving complete remission with steroid therapy for four weeks.
Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome was defined as failure to achieve remission
following four weeks of treatment with prednisone 60 mg/m2. Based on the
frequency of relapses, nephrotic syndrome can be divided into 2, infrequent
relapses with less than two relapses within six months of the initial response or
less than four relapses for any year thereafter. Frequent relapses with two or
more relapses within six months of initial response or four or more relapses within
a period of one year.9 This patient was diagnosed as infrequent relapses
nephrotic syndrome because eleven months before the patient was diagnosed
with nephrotic syndrome based on history, physical examination and laboratory

25
findings. Initially swelling all over the body, starting from the eyelids and followed
by swelling in the abdomen, extremities and scrotum . He received prednisone
treatment and after the treatment was completed, the patient was declared
achieve remission. Then the patient again experienced edema all over the body
since 1 week before entering the hospital and the patient had proteinuria and
hypoalbuminemia so that the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome was declared.
Current recommendations on the treatment of a first episode of nephrotic
syndrome are based on empirical experience and small randomized controlled
trials. The 2012 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical
Practice Guideline for Glomerulonephritis recommends that corticosteroid
therapy should be given for at least 12 weeks. Moreover, it is stated that daily
oral prednisone is given for 4–6 weeks followed by alternate day medication for
2–5 months with tapering off the dose.4 Daily prednisone is given for relapses
and is reduced to alternate day dosing once the urine is negative or trace for
protein for 3 days. For patients with frequent relapses, especially if there are
significant steroid side effects, a variety of agents are used to prevent relapses:
alkylating agents, calcineurin inhibitors, mycophenolate mofetil, and rituximab.
Home urine monitoring for relapses is a critical component of management.10
High dose oral methylprednisolone showed no significant difference in the time
to relapse and the relapse rate at one year in patients receiving high dose oral
methylprednisolone given over two weeks versus six months of prednisone
therapy. Prednisone in relapsing sensitive steroid nephrotic syndrome Daily
prednisone with alternate-day prednisone therapy reduced the rate of relapse.11
(Level of evidence 1A). This patient was given daily prednisone therapy and on
the 7th day of treatment, routine urine examination showed negative proteinuria
and was planned to be continued as an alternate day if then he continued to show
negative proteinuria for 3 consecutive days.
The complication of NS are divided into two categories: disease-
associated and drug-related complications. Disease-associated complications
include infections (e.g., peritonitis, sepsis, cellulitis, and chicken pox),
thromboembolism, hypovolemic crisis (e.g., abdominal pain, tachycardia, and

26
hypotension), cardiovascular problems (e.g., hyperlipidemia), acute renal failure,
anemia, and others (e.g., hypothyroidism, hypocalcemia, and bone disease). The
main pathomechanism of disease-associated complications originates from the
large loss of plasma proteins in the urine of nephrotic children. Infection is one of
major complication related to the underlying NS in children. Some factors that
may contribute to this problem are: reduced serum concentrations of
immunoglobulin G (IgG), impaired ability to make specific antibodies, depressed
T-cell function, decreased levels of the alternative complement pathway,
immunosuppressive therapy, and physiological factors such as fluid collection in
cavities and dilution of local humoral defenses by edema that may play a major
role in the susceptibility of nephrotic patients to infection. Side effects include
bone marrow suppression with leucopenia and, rarely, malignant transformation,
hemorrhagic cystitis and, among many others, gonadal toxicity.12,13
The other drug-related complications that can occur in this patient is
related with the use of corticosteroid. Clinical effects predominantly by
upregulating the transcription of anti-inflammatory genes (transactivation) or by
downregulating the transcription of inflammatory genes (trans repression) to
affect the downstream production of a number of pro-inflammatory cytokine and
chemokine proteins, cell adhesion molecules and other key enzymes involved in
the initiation and/or maintenance of the host inflammatory response
Corticosteroids are synthetic analogs of the natural steroid hormones produced
by the adrenal cortex. However, corticosteroids have known adverse effects such
as obesity, poor growth, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis and
adrenal suppression.14,15 The things that should be monitored include the
physical and laboratory progress, and that is not less important is the side effects
of corticosteroids. A dose of >7.5 mg/m2/day of prednisolone or its equivalent will
suppress growth. Thus, all patients on long-term steroids regardless of route of
administration should have a growth monitoring by measurement of weight and
length/height.16
Calcium levels should then be maintained with oral calcium supplements.
In addition to calcium supplements, calcitriol may be necessary in doses of 20 to

27
100 ng/kg per day in 2 to 3 divided doses until calcium levels normalize. 6 Once
vitamin D supplementation has been reduced to 400 IU/day with normal PTH and
25(OH)-D levels. Prednisolone in the dose of 7.5 mg/day for 6 months more, or
a cumulative dose of >10 g leads to bone loss. This patient has a normal value
of calcium level, but the level of vitamin D has not been performed yet because
of the high cost. In addition, they should also receive prophylactic calcium and
vitamin D supplements.15 The three adverse drug reactions of long courses of
oral corticosteroids experienced by the highest number of patients were weight
gain, growth retardation and Cushingoid features with respective incidence rates
of 21.1%, 18.1% and 19.4% of patients assessed for these adverse drug
reactions of long courses of oral corticosteroids. 21.5% of patients measured
showed decreased bone density and 0.8% of patients showed osteoporosis. 17
(Level of evidence 1A) During monitoring, the patient does not experience
complications due to drug complications, therapy to prevent drug complications,
especially growth problems, is given vitamin D and calcium supplementation.
To determine the nutritional state of this patient, we used body Mid upper
arm circumference -for-Age (MUAC/A). According to MUAC/A, the nutritional
state of the patient was good-nourished. Caloric and protein needs were
calculated based on RDA (recommended daily allowance) and ideal body weight,
which was 100 kcal/kg/day for calories, and diets required in nephrotic syndrome
in children protein 0.8 mg/kg/day is the most effective diet in nephrotic patients.
Low-fat diets (calorie intake <30% and cholesterol ≤200mg/day) can improve
hyperlipidemia. Salt should be restricted in the range of less than 2 gr/day was
18,19
suggested if the patient had edema and hypertension Regulating dietary
sodium intake can minimize edema associated with the condition, regulating
energy intake may limit excessive weight gain associated with corticosteroid
therapy and, optimizing calcium and vitamin D intakes can mitigate adverse bone
effects of high dose and prolonged corticosteroid therapy.20 (Level of evidence
3B)
Over 80–90% of minimal change nephrotic syndrome patients are steroid-
sensitive and respond to standard prednisolone therapy with complete resolution

28
of proteinuria. However, most patients tend to relapse, and around 50% become
frequent relapsing and/or steroid-dependent. Patients developing frequent
relapsing and/or steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome require prolonged
treatment that leads to toxicity, systemic infections, and other complications. The
predictors for quent relapsing and/or steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome with
steroid therapy were younger age (≤6 years) at initial diagnosis (p=0.00),
presence of hematuria (p=0.00), infection (p=0.01), acute renal failure (p=0.01),
serum albumin below 1.5g/dl (p=0.01) at diagnosis and lack of remission within
2 weeks (p=0.0) of therapy. Patients that encounter frequent relapses and/or
steroid dependence indicate unfavorable features suggesting poor prognosis.
Steroid-resistant NS is difficult to treat with 36–50% of the patients progress to
end-stage renal disease.21 (Level of evidence 3B) Quo ad vitam prognosis is
dubious because this patient received long-term steroid therapy which can lead
to complications such as infection and growth disorders Quo ad functionam and
qua ad sanationam prognosis is dubious because In this patient there are factors
of low albumin levels and hematuria that can increase the occurrence of relapse
and steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome which has a poor outcome.
The family has the right to know about the symptoms, progressivity of the
disease, treatment and its side effects, complications, prognosis, and the factors
that trigger the disease. Families need to understand that the illness requires a
long regular treatment, because inadequate treatment will prevent remission,
easy to relapse, and eventually leads to chronic kidney disease.
