Overview

Nephrotic Syndrome is a kidney disorder characterized by increased protein in the urine, low protein levels in the blood, swelling (edema), and high cholesterol levels. It can result from various underlying health conditions that damage the kidneys' filtering units (glomeruli).

  • Swelling, especially in the legs, ankles, and around the eyes

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of Nephrotic Syndrome typically involves:

  • Urinalysis to check for protein levels
  • Blood tests to assess kidney function and protein levels
  • Imaging tests like ultrasound

  • Medications like corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
