​Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) is the most common chronic kidney condition of childhood. The exact cause of NS is not yet known, but boys are more likely to be affected than girls. When a child has NS, their kidneys leak protein into the urine. When this happens, the protein levels in the blood drop and water shifts from the blood vessels into the body tissues, causing swelling (usually of the face, legs and groin). 

The good news is the majority of children respond well to affordable therapy (prednisone tablets), they will grow out of NS and their kidneys will function normally into adulthood. ​

​Unfortunately however, for many children living with NS in low- and middle-income countries are not able to affordably access the medicines and care they need to survive and thrive. CLAN is committed to working with NS Communities internationally to drive sustainable solutions and long-term change.
