Nephrotic syndrome : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Nephrotic syndrome is caused by diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis, a condition in which the glomeruli (the tiny filters in the kidneys) become inflamed and begin to leak proteins and other substances into the urine. this leads to swelling in the body, proteinuria, and other complications.
What happens during the disease - nephrotic syndrome : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis
Nephrotic syndrome is caused by diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis, a type of glomerulonephritis. this condition is characterized by inflammation and thickening of the glomerular capillaries, leading to the disruption of the normal filtration of the glomerulus. this disruption leads to an increase in the amount of protein in the urine, as well as an increase in the amount of water and electrolytes lost in the urine. as a result, the patient experiences swelling, proteinuria, and hypoalbuminemia.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Serum albumin
- Serum cholesterol
- Serum triglycerides
- Urinalysis
- Urine protein/creatinine ratio
- Kidney biopsy
- Imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scan
- Renal function tests
- Immunological tests
- Renal biopsy
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal of the Treatment: To reduce proteinuria, edema, and risk of complications
- Prescribe corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants to reduce inflammation
- Monitor blood pressure and treat hypertension
- Prescribe diuretics to reduce edema
- Prescribe ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers to reduce proteinuria
- Monitor kidney function and urine protein levels to detect signs of progression
- Prescribe anticoagulants to reduce risk of thrombosis
- Prescribe antibiotics to treat infections
- Prescribe antihypertensives to reduce blood pressure
- Prescribe lipid-lowering drugs to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease
- Provide patient education and lifestyle advice to reduce risk of complications
14 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Nephrotic syndrome : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis - Prevention
Nephrotic syndrome is best prevented through early diagnosis and management of underlying conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and infections. additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, can help reduce the risk of developing this condition.
