Abstract
Dijkman et al. describe a unique form of glomerular involution in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS). These lesions are small and sclerotic but retain their podocyte and parietal epithelial cell constituents. Multicenter studies are needed to address the clinical implications of the changing histological pattern of INS in children.
