Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephrotic Syndrome is a kidney disorder that causes the body to excrete excess protein in the urine (proteinuria). It results from damage to the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units in the kidneys, leading to fluid retention and other complications.

Symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome

✔ Severe Swelling (Edema) – Especially in the legs, feet, face, and abdomen

✔ Foamy Urine – Due to high levels of protein loss

✔ Weight Gain – From fluid retention

✔ Fatigue & Weakness – Due to low protein levels in the blood

✔ High Cholesterol & Triglycerides – Liver produces more fats in response to protein loss

✔ Loss of Appetite – Due to fluid buildup in the stomach

Causes & Risk Factors

✔ Minimal Change Disease (MCD) – Most common cause in children, unknown reason

✔ Membranous Nephropathy – Thickening of kidney membranes

✔ Diabetic Nephropathy – Kidney damage due to diabetes

✔ Lupus Nephritis – Autoimmune condition affecting kidneys

✔ Infections – Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV

✔ Medications & Toxins – Certain drugs like NSAIDs
