Síndrome nefrótica congênita secundária à infecção congênita: um relato de caso

Abstract

Congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) is a rare glomerular disease characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, and generalized edema that manifests in the first 3 months of life. This report describes the case of a patient with congenital nephrotic syndrome secondary to congenital infection in a pediatric patient. The article aims to sensitize pediatricians to the pathology and its etiologies, considering that clinical suspicion allows for better therapeutic management of affected patients and the prevention of potential sequelae.
