Overview
Nephrotic syndrome can be classified into primary or secondary depending on the underlying etiology. Primary (idiopathic) nephrotic syndrome is defined as nephrotic syndrome due to a primary glomerular disease. Secondary nephrotic syndrome is defined as nephrotic syndrome due to a primary etiology other than glomerular disorders, such as infections, malignancies, systemic conditions, and medications.

Primary (Idiopathic) Nephrotic Syndrome
Primary (idiopathic) nephrotic syndrome is defined as nephrotic syndrome due to a primary glomerular disease. It is a common diagnosis in children. Etiologies of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome include:[1]
| Different types of nephrotic syndromes | Disease name | |
|---|---|---|

| Primary FSGS | ||
| Secondary | Infection: HIV | |
| Drugs/toxins: NSAIDs, interferon, pamironate, lithium, vaccins, envenomation | ||
| Malignancies: hodgkin lymphoma, thymoma | ||
| Genetics: nephrin mutations, podocin | ||
| Membranous nephropathies | Primary | Primary membranous nephropathy |
| Secondary | Drugs, toxins, malignancies | |

- Hereditary Nephropathies: are group of disorders that present with both the features of nephrotic and nephritic syndromes. When features of nephritic syndrome are associated with sensorineural deafness, it is called Alport’s syndrome. Other hereditary nephropathies include IgA Nephropathy, C1q Nephropathy, etc.
