The nephrotic syndrome is most frequently encountered in children within the age group of one to six years. It is characterized by the occurrence of massive albuminuria, hypoproteinemia, hyperlipemia and voluminous edema. When this syndrome is almost pure, that is to say, when it is not accompanied by hematuria, renal insufficiency or hypertension, it has for a long time been referred to as lipuid nephrosis. The German anatomists (MUNK, 1908; VOLLARD AND FAHR 1913) were the first to use this name arising from the observation that the renal tubules are infiltrated by birefringent liquid substances accompanied by signs of inflammation.
