Extractions: What is nephrotic syndrome? It is the name given to a condition when large amounts of protein leak out into the urine. Normal urine should contain almost no protein. In nephrotic syndrome the leak is large enough so that the levels of protein in the blood fall. This page has quite detailed information. If you want a more simple summary, go to our page with short information on nephrotic syndrome The most obvious symptom is usually swelling of the ankles and legs. Extra fluid may also accumulate in the abdomen and around the face, especially overnight. In children and young adults the ankles may be less affected and the abdomen and face more affected. Most ankle swelling is caused by other diseases ; nephrotic syndrome is a rare cause of ankle swelling. Urine tests and blood samples are required to prove that nephrotic syndrome is the cause. The protein leak can sometimes make the urine frothy. Some people feel tired. Other problems can occur in nephrotic syndrome, probably as a result of some particular proteins that are missing because of the leak.

I. General Aspects A. Definition: the nephrotic syndrome is a renal disorder with many possible causes characterized by massive proteinuria (greater than 50 mg/kg/day), hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, lipiduria, and generalized edema. B.Pathogenesis: the renal diseases associated with the nephrotic syndrome produce an increase in glomerular permeability for large molecules such as proteins. This may result from generalized basement membrane injury or loss of basement membrane - associated polyanions. C. Clinical features: The main clinical feature is edema. Clinical findings associated with a poor prognosis include hematuria, hypertension, nonselective proteinuria, abnormal renal function tests, oliguria, occurrence in adults, and failure to respond to steroids.

Extractions: from EdREN , the website of the Renal Unit of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh It is the name given to a condition when large amounts of protein leak out into the urine. Normal urine should contain almost no protein. In nephrotic syndrome the leak is large enough so that the levels of protein in the blood fall. This is a short page about it. There is another page with more detailed information What trouble does it cause? The most obvious symptom is usually swelling of the ankles and legs. Extra fluid may also accumulate in the abdomen and around the face, especially overnight. In children and young adults the ankles may be less affected and the abdomen and face more affected. The protein leak can sometimes make the urine frothy. Some people feel tired. There can also be some other important effects: Increased risk of infection Raised blood cholesterol Increased risk of blood clotting Lots of blood tests are useful. The most important test however is a renal biopsy. This test is designed to take a small piece of kidney to look at under the microscope. A scanner is used to find the kidney so the test is done in the X-ray department. Using local anaesthetic a needle is placed into the kidney through the back. This requires a brief hospital admission.

Extractions: Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index N nephrotic syndrome Search nephrotic syndrome Ordinarily the kidneys work very efficiently to cleanse the blood of waste products and retain the normal blood constituents - water, salts, and proteins. Nephrotic syndrome, or nephrosis, is a condition in which the kidneys leak protein out of the bloodstream and into the urine. The "basement membrane" of the kidney becomes leaky to proteins and these spill out into the urine. The resultant low blood protein levels cause water to build up in the tissues and the child becomes quite puffy. This disease often follows a routine viral respiratory illness; the cause is not known but is assumed to be an auto-immune phenomenon. It is in the majority of cases relatively benign and self-limited. Steroids often produce rapid improvement. Sometimes nephrosis is only part of a larger problem of inflammation of the kidney, and then favorable prognosis is more uncertain. Peritonitis is a concern in children with nephotic syndrome.

Extractions: Nephrotic syndrome occurs when the filters in the kidney leak an excessive amount of protein. The level of protein in the blood then falls and this allows fluid to leak across very small blood vessels into the tissues. Swelling around the eyes, abdomen and legs is a consequence of this process. The disease is characterised by proteinuria (Excessive protein especially albumin in the urine), low blood protein and oedema(swelling in the tissues). Protein losses in the urine are commonly 5-10gms per day but may also exceed 30gms per day. Clinical symptoms: Swelling(oedema) General Around the eyes In the extremities, especially feet and ankles.

Extractions: Nephrotic syndrome occurs when the filters in the kidney leak an excessive amount of protein. The level of protein in the blood then falls and this allows fluid to leak across very small blood vessels into the tissues. Swelling around the eyes, abdomen and legs is a consequence of this process. Protein in the body is normally made by the liver and the liver then responds by producing extra protein. Nephrotic syndrome is a combination of proteinuria (excessive protein in the urine), low blood protein and oedema (swelling in the tissues). Most cases of nephrotic syndrome are caused by changes in the immune system. Certain types of white cell may produce substances that act on the filters in the kidney to produce a change in the filter permeability or leakiness. This allows protein to leak into the urine. Other forms of nephrotic syndrome are caused by increased numbers of inflammatory and other cells in the filters also making them leaky. In some instances this may result it permanent damage to the filters. The commonest type of nephrotic syndrome in children is called "minimal change" and occurs in 80% of cases. In this type the kidney function remains normal. A small percentage of children may have partial scarring involving some of their filters, while others may have a significant increase in the number of cells in the filters.

Extractions: Generally, nephrotic syndrome results from damage to the kidneys' glomeruli the tiny blood vessels that filter waste and excess water from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine although some causes remain unknown. Nephrotic syndrome may occur with many diseases, including the kidney diseases caused by type 2 diabetes. Prevention of nephrotic syndrome relies on controlling these diseases. How is nephrotic syndrome often treated? Treatment generally focuses on identifying the underlying cause, if possible, and reducing the following (often through diet, medications, or both): Consult your physician to determine if an underlying cause for your condition can be identified. Only after this determination is made can an appropriate treatment protocol be established.
