I WANT to do research into Nephrotic Syndrome, (leaking kidneys) which affects one in 50,000 children.

It is still not known what causes the kidneys to change and why a perfectly healthy child changes overnight into a very sick child.

I would like to hear from any parent or anyone who has experienced this syndrome in order to help the children of today and the future.
