Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder characterized by a group of symptoms indicating damage to the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units of the kidneys. The primary features of nephrotic syndrome include excessive protein in the urine (proteinuria), low levels of protein in the blood, swelling (edema), and elevated cholesterol levels. Common causes of nephrotic syndrome include minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and membranous nephropathy. The loss of essential proteins through the urine disrupts the delicate balance required for maintaining fluid and electrolyte levels in the body, leading to edema primarily in the legs and around the eyes. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause, often through medications like corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms. Additionally, dietary modifications and medications to control blood pressure and cholesterol may be recommended. Regular monitoring and management are essential to prevent complications and preserve kidney function in individuals with nephrotic syndrome.
