Extractions: Subscribe now >> Nephrotic syndrome is a condition marked by very high levels of protein in the urine; low levels of protein in the blood; swelling, especially around the eyes, feet, and hands; and high cholesterol. Nephrotic syndrome results from damage to the kidneys' glomeruli (the singular form is glomerulus). Glomeruli are tiny blood vessels that filter waste and excess water from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine. Nephrotic syndrome can occur with many diseases, including the kidney diseases caused by diabetes mellitus, but some causes are unknown. Prevention of nephrotic syndrome relies on controlling these diseases. Treatment of nephrotic syndrome focuses on identifying the underlying cause if possible and reducing high cholesterol, blood pressure, and protein in urine through diet, medications, or both. One group of blood pressure medications called ACE inhibitors also protects the kidneys in diabetic patients. Nephrotic syndrome may go away once the underlying cause, if known, has been treated. However, most of the time a kidney disease is the underlying cause, and these diseases cannot be cured. In these cases, the kidneys may gradually lose their ability to filter wastes and excess water from the blood. If kidney failure occurs, the patient will need dialysis or a kidney transplant.

The urine may also contain fat which is visible under the microscope. Causes and Risks 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.

Extractions: Focus On: NEPHROTIC SYNDROME Nephrotic syndrome is a disorder of the kidneys characterized by the presence of protein and albumin in the urine, low protein and albumin in the blood, elevated cholesterol and edema (swelling). Elevated protein levels in the urine is the trademark sign of nephrotic syndrome. As nephrotic syndrome is often the first indicator of impending renal disease, an aggressive approach to treating the condition is frequently recommended. Diets high in protein and low in salt are often suggested. While sudden an spontaneous remissions can occur, referral to a nephrologist for management is indicated. As untreated nephrotic syndrome may progress into kidney failure, steroids, which have been shown to be extremely useful in effecting remission in many cases, should be considered. Patients who develop complications as a result of steroid therapy can be given alternative medications, such as Cyclosporine, This is also true in patients whose nephrotic syndrome do not respond well to steroids. However, Cyclosporine and similar medications are not with out risks, and diligent monitoring of the blood and urine is essential. Duration of therapy is dependent upon response to treatment, an may be as short as a few months and as long as eighteen months. Biopsy of the kidney may be indicated in certain cases to identify the pathological cause of the nephrotic syndrome, especially where there is a lack of response to medical treatment. As there are numerous causes of nephroptic syndrome, identification of the type of disease effecting the kidney may be useful in planning treatment and determining prognosis. For example, focal segemental glomerulsclerosis ("FSGS") is a common form of a kidney lesion that can result in nephrotic syndrome. More than 50% of nephrotic syndrome caused by FSGS occurs in African-Americans. Steroids alone or together with cytotoxic agents has been advanced for treatment of FSGS.

http://www.mendiseasestcm.com/images/diseases/nephrotic-syndrome.htm

Extractions: Nephrotic syndrome can be caused by a wide variety of glomerular diseases. It may follow bacterial or viral infection, malignant tumors and administration of some drugs. Some immune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, allergic purpura and diabetes mellitus can be complicated by nephrotic syndrome. This disease is included in the categories of "shui zhong" (edema), and "xu lao" (consumptive diseases) in TCM. Main Points of Diagnosis 1. Heavy proteinuria, accompanied with edema and hypoproteinemia, are three major manifestations of this syndrome. Urinary protein excretion exceeds 3.5g per day. The serum albumin is lower than 30g per liter. Severe edema may appear if serum albumin is lower than 15g per liter. 2. The alteration of blood pressure varies with different types of the disease. Hyperlipemia is common, particularly increased cholesterol. 3. About 75 per cent of cases with nephrotic syndrome are caused by primary glomerular diseases. In children nearly 80 per cent of cases are nephrotic syndrome of minute lesion type. The rest are secondary to other diseases. Renopuncture biopsy is of much help in confirming the cases of the diseases and indicating treatment.

In these cases, the kidneys may gradually lose their ability to filter wastes and excess water from the blood. If kidney failure occurs, the patient will need dialysis or a kidney transplant.

http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/nephrotic_syndrome.html

Extractions: 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. Causes and symptoms Nephrotic syndrome can be caused by a number of different diseases. The common mechanism which seems to cause damage involves the immune system. For some reason, the immune system seems to become directed against the person's own kidney. The glomeruli become increasingly leaky as various substances from the immune system are deposited within the kidney.

Extractions: Nephrotic Syndrome. Medical Term: None Specified Description: Nephrotic syndrome is a syndrome ( a collection of symptoms) caused by many diseases that affect the kidneys . This results in severe protein loss in the urine, decreased blood levels of protein ( especially albumin), retention of excess salt and water in the body, causing swelling of extremities, face and abdomen. It can occur at any age, but in children, it usually occurs between the ages of 1.5 to 4 years. Causes: Nephrotic syndrome may be caused by primary kidney glomerular disease, or secondary to other illnesses which cause damage to the kidney filtering mechanism. In the primary form, immune disorders, and inflammations are the main causes. In the secondary form, many illnesses such as diabetes, cancers, collagen disorders and infections (such as HIV), as well as certain drugs may cause Nephrotic Syndrome. Prevention: Obtain prompt treatment for throat and kidney infections. Treat underlying disorders such as diabetes mellitus and their complications.

Protein lost in the urine results in a lower level of proteins in the blood. It is these proteins in the blood which help to hold water within the blood vessels. When the protein level is very low, water passes into the tissues and this is recognised as swelling (oedema).
