This is a condition where small scars(sclerosis) develop on some glomeruli.
The Glomerulus receives blood from an artery and exits it via another artery.
Blood vessels entering the Glomerulus split up into tiny capillaries with very thin walls.
Birds have small glomeruli, but about twice as many nephrons as similarly sized mammals.
The renal corpuscle is composed of two structures, the Glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule.
When the glomeruli becomes damaged,
it will cause an express passage of protein directly into urine.
The cells of the proximal tubules mainly
provide preservation for the body of most of the substances filtered in the Glomerulus.
This disorder occurs when there is a damage to those little
clusters of small blood vessels that make up the glomeruli which are present in the kidneys.
The rate at which the blood is filtered in all the glomeruli is known as glomerular filtration rate(GFR)
and it gives us the information about the overall health of kidneys.

Minimal change disease In nephrotic syndrome, the Glomerulus has been damaged
so that a large amount of protein in the blood enters the urine.
The structure of the Glomerulus allows waste products
and some water and salt to pass from the blood into a tiny channel called a tubule, while keeping blood cells and protein in the bloodstream.

The kidneys are the object of a loss of function, because the high minimum pressure and the hypertensive state that accompanies it determine, in the long run, a narrowing of the renal arteries(therefore less blood flows
to the kidneys) and damage to renal structures fundamental, such as glomeruli, tubules, etc.
