XXIV. SCF LAYMAN’S SUMMARY
Congenital nephrotic syndrome is a rare inherited kidney disorder that begins during infancy and causes the kidneys to leak large amounts of protein into the urine. This leads to severe swelling, poor growth, infections, blood-clotting complications, and progressive kidney damage. The most common form is caused by mutations in the NPHS1 gene, which affects nephrin, a key protein of the kidney’s filtration barrier. SCF interprets congenital nephrotic syndrome as a systems-level renal communication disorder involving podocyte dysfunction, filtration-barrier collapse, mitochondrial stress, oxidative injury, and loss of synchronized kidney homeostasis.
