Below: Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of symptoms which occur because the tiny blood vessels (the glomeruli) in the kidney become leaky. This allows protein (normally never passed out in the urine) to leave the body in large amounts. Description The glomeruli (a single one is called a glomerulus) are tiny tufts of capillaries (the smallest type of blood vessels). Glomeruli are located in the kidneys, where they allow a certain amount of water and waste products to leave the blood, ultimately to be passed out of the body in the form of urine. Normally, proteins are unable to pass through the glomerular filter. Nephrotic syndrome, however, occurs when this filter becomes defective, allowing large quantities of protein to leave the blood circulation, and pass out or the body in the urine. Patients with nephrotic syndrome are from all age groups, although in children there is an increased risk of the disorder between the ages of 18 months and four years. In children, boys are more frequently affected; in adults, the ratio of men to women is closer to equal.

Migraine Treatment Ask your health related question to Dr.Rajesh Shah Homoeopathy facilitates easy passage of those stones which are not too large. That is to say, they should not be larger than the diameter of ureter, urethra or the urethral orifice. There are homoeopathic medicines which allow passing of such stones. In case of large stones, non medicinal intervention is indicated. However, to prevent the further occurrence of the stone, homoeopathy treatment is recommended even after surgical removal or after passing of the stone. Nephrotic Syndrome: Homoeopathy treatment is indicated in all the cases of Nephrotic syndrome. However, children and early developed cases respond very well to homoeopathy. It is possible to avoid steroids in these cases and it is also possible to gradually taper off the dose of steroids in those steroid dependent cases. Other Renal disease: Such as Nephritis, acute and chronic renal failure require homoeopathy medicines either as principal measure of may be administered along with regular allopathic medicines without any interaction. We have observed that those cases with renal failure, being put on Dialysis and if they receive homoeopathy medication simultaneously, they require less frequent dialysis and their quality of life improves.

The main features of NS are proteinuria (losing protein in the urine), hypoproteinemia and/or hypoalbuminemia (a low protein and/or albumin level in the blood), hyperlipidemia (a high lipid level in the blood), and edema (an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the skin). Both proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia must be present for a diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome. Edema is the main symptom of NS. Many children with this disorder are found to have swelling around one or both eyes (

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.

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. However, in some cases, the cause remains 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. What are the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome?

Essential Drugs List Hospital (Paediatric) 9.1.2. NEPHROTIC SYNDROME Definition The nephrotic syndrome is characterised by the presence of oedema, proteinuria, hypoproteinaemia and hyperlipidaemia due to increased permeability of the glomerular basement membrane to protein. Pathogenesis Minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) is caused by a decreased negative charge of the glomerular basement membrane. Albumin and other larger protein molecules, which are also negatively charged, are no longer repelled from the basement membrane to the same degree. Abnormally large volumes of albumin and proteins are filtered into the renal tubules, whose reabsorption capacity is exceeded, and are lost in the urine. MCNS usually responds to corticosteroids. Secondary nephrotic syndrome is caused by various types of immune-complex glomerulonephritis, which not only disrupt the structure of the basement membrane but also decrease its negative charge. The response to corticosteroids varies from poor to absent, depending on the histological diagnosis. Complications: Infections (primary pneumococcal peritonitis, septicaemia, pneumonia and urinary tract infections); hypovolaemia and renal insufficiency due to poor renal perfusion; thrombosis; hypertension (not in minimal change disease)

Nephrotic Syndrome Nephrotic Syndrome: this disorder is characterized by marked proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. Although nephrotic syndrome (NS) is not a disease itself, it results from a specific glomerular defect and indicates renal damage. Cause: Primary (idiopathic) glomerulonephritis causes 75% of the cases (affecting adults and children). Other causes include metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus; collagen vascular disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and periarteritis nodosa; circulatory diseases, such as CHF, sickle cell anemia, and renal vein thrombosis; nephrotoxins, such as mercury, gold, and bismuth; allergic reactions, and infections, such as tuberculosis and enteritis. Pregnancy, hereditary nephritis, multiple myeloma, and other neoplastic diseases may also cause NS. Symptoms: Mild to severe dependent edema of the ankles or sacrum, or periorbital edema, (especially in children). Symptoms may lead to ascites, pleural effusion, and swollen external genitalia. May show signs of orthostatic hypotension, lethargy, anorexia, depression, and pallor.
