The pathogenesis of minimal change disease (MCD), considered to be the simplest form of nephrotic syndrome, has been one of the major unsolved mysteries in kidney disease. In this review, recent landmark studies that have led to the unraveling of MCD are discussed. A study published earlier this year now explains the molecular basis of major clinical and morphological changes in MCD. The overproduction of angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) in podocytes in MCD causes binding of ANGPTL4 to the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), development of nephrotic-range selective proteinuria, diffuse effacement of foot processes, and loss of GBM charge, but is not associated with changes shown by light microscopy in the glomerular and tubulointerstitial compartments. At least some of this ability of ANGPTL4 to induce proteinuria is linked to a deficiency of sialic acid residues, since oral supplementation with sialic acid precursor N-acetyl-D-mannosamine improves sialylation of podocyte secreted ANGPTL4 and significantly reduces proteinuria. Animal models of MCD, recent advances in potential biomarkers, and studies on upstream factors that may initiate glomerular changes are also discussed. In summary, recent progress in understanding MCD is likely to influence the diagnosis and treatment of MCD in the near future.
