PEDS: Minimal Change Disease

Today's Episode Alexis reviews Case 22 from the Pediatric Morning Report book. A 3-year-old Native American male, previously healthy, is brought to your office for worsening swelling of his feet, legs, and thighs. His mother reports an episode of upper respiratory tract infec- tion 2 weeks prior followed by progressive worsening of a lower extremity swelling.
