Nephrotic Syndrome in Kids Treatment in Hyderabad By Dr. B. Vijay Kiran

What Is Nephrotic Syndrome?

Nephrotic syndrome is a severe kidney disorder that causes the body to excrete excess protein in the urine. Small blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste and excess water from the blood are broken; thereby begin swelling in the feet and ankles.

Nephrotic syndrome is a condition marked by:

• Proteinuria—large amounts of protein in the urine
• Hyperlipidemia—advanced than healthy fat and cholesterol stages in the blood
• Edema, or swelling, usually in the legs, feet, or ankles and less often in the hands or face
• Hypoalbuminia—low levels of albumin in the blood

Nephrotic Syndrome Definition

Nephrotic syndrome is most often caused by one of two idiopathic diseases: minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (HSF). A third diverse type, membranous nephropathy, is rare in children.

Other causes of nephrotic syndrome isolated can subdivide into two significant categories: disorders, rare genetic and secondary diseases associated with drugs or infections.

Here's What Should Know to Identify about Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephrotic syndrome child is also called nephrosis. In the vast majority of a child with nephrotic syndrome means that doctors require advanced treatment to know what causes it. Nephrotic syndrome always affects both kidneys.

It usually appears between the early years and primary school, although it may appear later. It is not believed that there are two forms of nephrotic syndrome, minimal change disease (MCD) and focal sclerosis.

MCD is much more common in children and is likely to respond to therapy. Most of the nephrotic syndrome in children is growing faster than by young adulthood.

Treating Children with Nephrotic Syndrome

The kidneys usually function as a filter to keep the proteins in the blood, while waste products are filtered out. When the kidneys do not work correctly, the protein is filtered out of the blood and urine. When a large amount of protein in the urine escapes and affects the results of your blood tests. These measures call for nephrotic syndrome children.

What Causes Nephrotic Syndrome?

Nephrotic syndrome causes results in damage to the kidneys' glomeruli. These are the small blood vessels that filter waste and excess water from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine.

Nephrotic syndrome can occur with other health problems such as kidney disease caused by diabetes and immune disorders. It can also develop after damage caused by viral infections.
