CHILDNEPH is a pan-Canadian project to observe clinical care for children with nephrotic syndrome. Previous studies have indicated that there is wide practice variation in how health care providers treat this remitting and relapsing disease of childhood. The disease mechanism is not yet understood, and long-term use of steroids can affect children's health. This study involves assessment of routine clinical care and establishing a long-term patient registry for children with nephrotic syndrome.
