Neural deficits, intelligence, maladjustment and family response in children with the nephrotic syndrome.
An intensive psychomedical study of a small number of children suffering from the nephrotic syndrome is reported. Significant organic and psychological sequelae exist in the nephrotic child. The patient's family also appears to need specialist psychological attention. The urgent need for well-organised liaison psychiatric services in non-psychiatric medical departments is emphasised.
