Nephrotic syndrome : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Nephrotic syndrome is caused by diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis, a type of kidney disease in which the glomeruli, the tiny filters of the kidney, become inflamed and damaged. this causes the kidneys to leak large amounts of protein into the urine, leading to swelling, weight gain, and other symptoms.
What happens during the disease - nephrotic syndrome : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis
Nephrotic syndrome is a condition caused by diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis, an immune-mediated disorder that results in thickening of the glomerular basement membrane and inflammation of the glomerular capillary walls. this thickening and inflammation lead to an increased permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier, allowing proteins to leak out of the glomerular capillaries and into the urine. this proteinuria is the hallmark of nephrotic syndrome.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Urinalysis
- Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio
- Renal Biopsy
- Serum Albumin
- Serum Cholesterol
- Serum Protein Electrophoresis
- Serum Immunoglobulin Levels
- Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: Reduce inflammation, decrease proteinuria, and prevent complications.
- Prescribing corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and/or ACE inhibitors
- Monitoring and controlling blood pressure
- Monitoring and controlling cholesterol levels
- Prescribing diuretics to reduce fluid retention
- Prescribing anticoagulants to prevent clotting
- Providing nutritional counseling
- Administering immunoglobulin therapy
- Administering plasma exchange therapy
- Prescribing medications to reduce the risk of infection
- Providing patient education about the disease
14 Days of Hospitalization Required

Nephrotic syndrome : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis - Prevention
Nephrotic syndrome is best prevented by avoiding known risk factors, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney infections. regular check-ups with a doctor can help to identify any early signs of the disease and to monitor for any potential complications. additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly, can help to reduce the risk of developing nephrotic syndrome.
