SummaryCongenital Nephrotic Syndrome of the Finish type (CNF) is a rare and severe disease. A neonate with CNF is described. The diagnosis carries a dramatically poorer prognosis than nephrotic syndrome diagnosed after one year. The clinical course is one of persistent oedema and recurrent infections leading to death. The gene for the Finish type has been mapped to the long arm of chromosome 19. Case reports show it to be responsive to captopril and indomethacin. It is uniformly resistant to steroids and immunosuppressive drugs.
摘要
芬兰型先天性肾病综合征(CNF)是一种罕见的严重疾病。本文描述了一名患有CNF的新生儿。与一岁后诊断的肾病综合征相比,该诊断的预后明显更差。临床病程表现为持续性水肿和反复感染,最终导致死亡。芬兰型的基因已被定位到19号染色体长臂。病例报告显示其对卡托普利和吲哚美辛有反应。它对类固醇和免疫抑制药物均有耐药性。
