Minimal Change Nephropathy is also known as Lipoid Nephrosis. It is a disease of the kidney that causes Nephrotic Syndrome and usually affects children (peak incidence at 2–3 years of age). It is a type of kidney disease where the kidneys leak protein.
Minimal Change Disease is most common in very young children but also can occur in older children and adults. It is by far the most common cause of Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) in children under 10 years old, accounting for the majority (about 90%) of these diagnoses. Among teenagers who develop NS, it is caused by minimal change disease about half the time. It can also occur in adults but accounts for less than 20% of adults diagnosed with NS. Among children less than 10 years old, boys seem to be more likely to develop Minimal Change Disease than girls.
