Nephrotic syndrome : minor glomerular abnormality - what does this mean

Nephrotic syndrome occurs when there is a minor abnormality in the glomeruli, which are the tiny filters in the kidneys that help to remove waste and excess fluid from the body. this can lead to the body retaining too much fluid, which can cause swelling, high levels of protein in the urine, and low levels of protein in the blood.

What happens during the disease - nephrotic syndrome : minor glomerular abnormality

Nephrotic syndrome is caused by a minor glomerular abnormality, which leads to an increase in the permeability of the glomerular basement membrane. this increase in permeability allows proteins to leak from the glomerular capillaries into the urine, resulting in proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. the exact cause of the glomerular abnormality is unknown, but is thought to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Nephrotic syndrome : minor glomerular abnormality - Prevention

Nephrotic syndrome prevention includes lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and limiting salt intake. it is also important to monitor and manage conditions that can increase the risk of kidney damage, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. additionally, avoiding certain medications and environmental toxins can help reduce the risk of developing nephrotic syndrome.
