Top Specialty Definition: Nephrotic syndrome (From Wikipedia , the free Encyclopedia) Nephrotic syndrome is a disorder where the kidneys have been damaged, causing them to leak protein from the blood into the urine. The glomerulus of the kidneys are the parts that normally filter the blood. They consist of fenestrated (leaky) capillaries, that allows fluid, salts and other small solutes to flow through, but normally not proteins. In nephrotic syndrome, the glomerulus has been damaged by diabetes, glomerulonephritis or even prolonged hypertension (high blood pressure). This means that small proteins, such as albumin can pass through the kidneys into urine.

The urine may also contain fat which is visible under the microscope. Alternative Names: Nephrosis Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Nephrotic syndrome is caused by various disorders which damage the kidneys, particularly to the basement membrane of the glomerulus. This immediately causes abnormal excretion of protein in the urine The most common cause in children is minimal change disease , while membranous glomerulonephritis is the most common cause in adults. This condition can also occur as a result of infection, drug exposure, malignancy , hereditary disorders, immune disorders, or diseases that affect multiple body systems including diabetes systemic lupus erythematosus multiple myeloma , and amyloidosis . It can accompany kidney disorders, including glomerulonephritis , focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis and mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis.

They consist of fenestrated (leaky) capillaries , that allows fluid, salts and other small solutes to flow through, but normally not proteins. In nephrotic syndrome, the glomerulus has been damaged by diabetes , glomerulonephritis or even prolonged hypertension (high blood pressure). This means that small proteins, such as albumin can pass through the kidneys into urine. Nephrotic syndrome is characterised by proteinuria (detectable protein in the urine), and low albumin levels in blood plasma . As a compensation, the liver begins to make more of all its proteins, and levels of large proteins (such as alpha-2 macroglobulin) increase. Lack of albumin will cause oedema (swelling), as water moves from the blood into the tissues. Cholesterol levels are also increased, and though the mechanism isn't fully understood, it is thought to be a result of cholesterol processing enzymes being lost into urine.

Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disease that causes high levels of protein in the urine (proteinuria), low levels of albumin in the blood (hypoalbuminemia), fluid accumulation around the eyes (periorbital edema) and in the hands, legs, and feet (peripheral edema), and high blood levels of cholesterol and triglyceride (hyperlipidemia). Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels are usually normal. Nephrotic syndrome is rare but can occur at any age. Children most commonly affected are between the ages of 18 months and 8 years. Boys are affected more often than girls. Adults with nephrotic syndrome do not respond to treatment as well as children do. What causes nephrotic syndrome?

Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by the following symptoms that result from changes that occur to the small, functional structures in the kidneys, such as: Very high levels of protein in the urine. Low levels of protein in the blood due to its loss in the urine. Tissue swelling all over the body (edema) especially in the abdomen (ascites). High cholesterol levels in the blood. What are the different types of nephrotic syndrome? The type of nephrotic syndrome that is most common in children is called idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. Idiopathic means that a disease occurs with no known cause. The most common type of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is called minimal-change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS). Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is more common in boys than girls. With MCNS, the child usually has relapses of the illness, but the disease can usually be managed and prognosis is good. In rare cases, a child may develop kidney failure that requires dialysis.

Other characters Nephrotic syndrome, an automimmune glomerulonephritis clinically manifest as oedema, albuminuria, hypoalbuminaemia. Children may progress to renal failure. Radiologically, the features are those of hypoproteinaemia and oedema, that is ascites, pleural effusions, cardiac failure, abdominal distension. Ultrasonically, the appearances of the kidneys depend on the stage of the disease and the underlying pathology. Initially the kidneys may be normal or there are enlarged hypoechoic kidneys which may contract and become small kidneys. There may be loss of corticomedullary differentiation or generalized increased echogenicity. Nephromegaly is seen on CT and MRI. The condition is often primary with no identifiable cause.
