Nephrotic syndrome : other - what does this mean
Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that occurs when the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys, called glomeruli, become damaged and allow too much protein to be released into the urine. this causes a decrease in the amount of protein in the blood, leading to fluid retention, swelling, and other symptoms.
What happens during the disease - nephrotic syndrome : other
Nephrotic syndrome is caused by damage to the glomerular basement membrane in the kidneys, which results in increased permeability and leakage of proteins into the urine. this disruption of the normal balance of proteins in the body can lead to fluid retention, edema, and other complications. in some cases, the cause of the damage to the glomerular basement membrane is unknown, while in other cases it can be caused by autoimmune diseases, infections, or other underlying medical conditions.
