Can children with nephrotic syndrome recover as they grow up?

Whether pediatric nephrotic syndrome can be fully resolved as the child grows up mainly depends on the type of disease, timing and method of treatment, and individual differences among patients. 1. **Type of disease**: Pediatric nephrotic syndrome can be classified into three types based on clinical presentation: simple nephrotic syndrome, nephritic nephrotic syndrome, and congenital nephrotic syndrome. The prognosis varies among these types. 2. **Timing and method of treatment**: Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial for the prognosis of nephrotic syndrome. If the pathological type is minimal change disease, the prognosis is relatively favorable. However, for children with more complex pathological changes or poor response to treatment—such as those with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis—there may be recurrence or suboptimal outcomes into adulthood. 3. **Individual differences**: Individual factors in the child, including age, overall health status, and genetic background, also influence the disease's prognosis.
