Congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type (CNF) is due to NPHS1 mutation and is responsible for a variety of urinary protein losses. We report the case of a 4-month-old girl with a particularly severe form (proteinuria approximately 150 g/l) of CNF. She developed severe non-regenerative anaemia requiring bi-monthly blood transfusions despite daily EPO (600 UI/kg) and iron supplementation. Epoetin pharmacokinetics revealed a urinary loss of 27% of the given dose within the first 24 h after IV injection. However, plasma levels remained increased after 24 h (228 UI/l). Plasma transferrin and transcobalamin levels were undetectable. Atransferrinaemia and atranscobalaminaemia seem to be responsible for disturbed erythropoiesis.

Nucleoporins, as major components of nuclear pore complex, have been recently discovered to participate in organ development. Here, we report a young female patient with nephrotic proteinuria resistant to immune suppressant treatment and congenital ovarian insufficiency. Renal pathology confirmed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and whole-exome sequencing revealed compound heterozygous mutations in Nucleoporin 160 (), NM_015231.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) rarely occurs during childhood and, with few exceptions, should be considered as a disease of sick children. Current recommendations concerning the duration of anticoagulant treatment for paediatric VTE are essentially based on the results of clinical trials conducted in adults. Yet the underlying medical conditions, incidence, and anatomical locations of the disease, as well as the rates of unprovoked VTE, morbidity, and mortality, differ between adults and children.

This study aimed to discuss the pathogenic hereditary factors of children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in Guangxi, China. We recruited 89 patients with SRNS or infantile NS from five major pediatric nephrology centers in Guangxi, and conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data. Whole-exome sequencing analysis was also performed on all patients.
