To the Editor: In the idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, including focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a glomerular permeability factor may be responsible for the development of proteinuria and the recurrence of disease after renal transplantation.^1,2 Plasma from patients with active focal segmental glomerulosclerosis can cause proteinuria in rats.³ The effect of a glomerular permeability factor after transmission from one person to another is not known. We report the transfer of an unknown glomerular permeability factor from a mother with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis to her child.

The nephrotic syndrome developed in a 35-year-old woman (gravida 5, para 3) in the 13th week of gestation . . . [Full Text of this Article]
