Child shows up with puffy eyes, edematous hands and feet, proteinuria, and no RBC or WBC casts. What nephrotic syndrome does this patient have?
It was a question on my kaplan simulated exam... Is this classical presentation of Minimal Change Disease?
Any thoughts?

Yes, classic. Minimal change/nil disease/lipoid nephrosis. Also, if they mention a very good response to corticosteroids, it is definitely lipoid nephrosis.
