Succinct aspects of clinical features, pathophysiology and prognosis of nephrotic syndrome in childhood, and indications for performing renal biopsy are enumerated in this review. Orthodox treatment of the nephrotic syndrome with more recent therapeutic approaches, and the role of diuretics, albumin infusions and immunizations in patients with the nephrotic syndrome are reviewed. The etiology of peritonitis, acute renal failure, and renal transplantation are re-examined to update nephrologists on the associated complications of this common childhood disease.
