Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Congenital nephrotic syndrome is rare and is often found incidentally while investigating other disorders. The diagnosis is made by typical clinical features and laboratory tests in infants < 3 months of age. It may be inherited, sporadic, acquired, or associated with a syndrome. We present the case of a former premature infant with respiratory distress at 3 months of age who was subsequently diagnosed with Finnish-type congenital nephrotic syndrome resulting from an unusual mode of inheritance.
