Nephrotic Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

What is Nephrotic Syndrome?

Nephrotic Syndrome is a kidney disorder that causes the body to excrete too much protein in the urine due to damage to the kidneys' filtering units (glomeruli). This leads to a range of complications, including swelling (edema), protein loss, and high cholesterol levels.

Causes of Nephrotic Syndrome

Primary Causes (Direct Kidney Issues)

  • Minimal Change Disease: The most common cause in children, where kidney tissues appear normal under a microscope.
  • Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS): Scarring of parts of the kidney’s filtering units.
  • Membranous Nephropathy: Thickening of the glomerular membrane, often seen in adults.

Secondary Causes (Due to Underlying Conditions)

  • Diabetes: Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause.
  • Lupus: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) can damage the kidneys.
  • Infections: Hepatitis B, C, and HIV may lead to kidney damage.
  • Medications: Certain drugs, including NSAIDs and antibiotics, can trigger nephrotic syndrome.

Symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome

Common Symptoms

  • Edema: Swelling in the face, legs, ankles, feet, and around the eyes due to fluid retention.
  • Proteinuria: Large amounts of protein in the urine, causing foamy or frothy urine.
  • Hypoalbuminemia: Low levels of albumin (a key protein in the blood).
  • Hyperlipidemia: High levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.

Treatment Options for Nephrotic Syndrome

  1. Medications

  2. Lifestyle Changes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can Nephrotic Syndrome Be Cured?

  • There is no permanent cure for nephrotic syndrome, but with treatment, the symptoms can be managed effectively.

What Are the Long-term Complications of Nephrotic Syndrome?

  • Long-term complications include chronic kidney disease, infections, and increased risk of blood clots due to protein loss.

How is Nephrotic Syndrome Diagnosed?

  • Diagnosis involves urine tests (to detect protein), blood tests (to check albumin and cholesterol levels), and sometimes a kidney biopsy.
