Nephrotic syndrome : unspecified - what does this mean
Nephrotic syndrome is a group of symptoms that occur when the kidneys are unable to properly filter out waste products from the blood. this can be due to a variety of causes, including diseases of the kidney, such as glomerulonephritis, or other systemic diseases such as diabetes or lupus. unspecified nephrotic syndrome is when the cause of the condition cannot be determined.
What happens during the disease - nephrotic syndrome : unspecified
Nephrotic syndrome is a disorder of the kidneys in which the glomeruli become damaged and leak large amounts of protein into the urine. this leads to a decrease in the amount of circulating proteins in the blood, resulting in a decrease in oncotic pressure and an increase in fluid retention, leading to edema. it can be caused by a variety of conditions, including certain medications, infections, and autoimmune diseases. it is important to diagnose the underlying cause in order to provide the most effective treatment.
