Albuminuria Video 3 : Nephrotic Syndrome or Heavy Proteinuria | More than 3.5 g/g #proteinuria
nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder characterized by excessive protein loss in the urine (proteinuria), low blood protein levels (hypoalbuminemia), swelling (edema), and high cholesterol levels It occurs due to damage to the kidney’s filtering units (glomeruli), which allows protein to leak into the urine instead of being retained in the bloodstream. Nephrotic syndrome can result from Primary Causes (Glomerular Diseases) Minimal Change Disease (MCD) – Most common in children, with no visible kidney damage under a microscope. Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) – Scarring of kidney filters, leading to protein leakage. Membranous Nephropathy – Thickening of the glomerular membrane, often linked to autoimmune conditions. Secondary Causes (Systemic Diseases) Diabetes (Diabetic Nephropathy) – Leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Lupus (Lupus Nephritis) – Autoimmune disease affecting kidney function. Infections – Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, and malaria. Medications & Toxins – NSAIDs, certain antibiotics, and heavy metal exposure.
