Nephrotic Syndrome | Clinical Presentation, Causes and Treatment

Lesson on Nephrotic Syndrome and causes including Minimal Change Disease, Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis and Membranous Glomerulonephropathy. Nephrotic syndrome is caused by inflammation of the glomerulus (glomerlonephritis) leading to heavy levels of proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, hypercoagulability, and lipid abnormalities. Nephrotic syndrome is often caused by 3 diseases including Minimal Change Disease (which is the most common nephrotic syndrome in children), Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, and Membranous Glomerulopathy. Other causes of nephrotic syndrome include renal amyloidosis, and nodular glomerulosclerosis.

Nephrotic syndrome leads increased risks of infection, hypovolemia, thromboembolism, and protein malnutrition.

वाह, आपने बहुत अच्छी जानकारी साझा की। मेरे चाचा इस समस्या से पीड़ित थे। वह उस दौरान बहुत परेशान थे। वह कई क्लीनिक गए लेकिन नतीजा अच्छा नहीं रहा। तब, किसी ने उन्हें Planet Ayurveda के बारे में बताया। वह Planet Ayurveda गए और अपना इलाज शुरू कर दिया। अब वह ठीक हैं। यदि आपको इस प्रकार की समस्या या अन्य किसी प्रकार की स्वास्थ्य समस्या है। आपको Planet Ayurveda जाना चाहिए।
