Minimal change disease (MCD) is the cause of the nephrotic syndrome in 10–15% of adults who have the condition. MCD is characterised by no discernable histological abnormality on light microscopy. Ultrastructural examination by electron microscopy reveals fusion of the podocyte foot processes, although this is not pathognomonic of the disease.
