In adults with the nephrotic syndrome, membranous nephropathyNephropathymembranous nephropathy, segmental sclerosing disorders, and minimal change nephropathyNephropathyminimal change nephropathy are usually the commonest findings. Diabetic glomerulopathyGlomerulopathydiabetic, lupus nephritisMembranoproliferative glomerulonephritisin lupus nephritis, andNephritisnephritis, lupus amyloid often account for nearly all other biopsy specimens in adults with the nephrotic syndrome.

In those children with the nephrotic syndrome who have a biopsy, most have either minimal change nephropathyNephropathyminimal change nephropathy or a segmental sclerosing disorder.
