Adolescent onset idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is marked by increased incidence atypical features and non-minimal change disease in histopathology. The objective of the study was to analyze the clinical features and histopathological spectrum of adolescent-onset INS. It was conducted in a Pediatric nephrology clinic of a tertiary care hospital in North India. We retrospectively evaluated clinical features, biochemical investigations and histopathology of 33 adolescents with idiopathic NS registered in pediatric nephrology clinic. Twenty-three (70.0%) adolescents had steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. Hematuria was present in 39%, hypertension 36% and acute kidney injury (AKI) in 27%. Three-fourth of adolescents who underwent biopsy had non-minimal change disease in histopathology. Adolescent onset INS have increased incidence of AKI, hypertension, and non-minimal change disease.
