Hello,
Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by large amounts of proteinuria, which is greater than 3.5 gram per 1.73 meter square body surface area per day, or greater than 40 mili gram per square meter body surface area per hour in children, hypoalbuminemia, which is less than 2.5 gram per dl, hyperlipidaemia, and edema that begins in the face.
In simple words, Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that causes our body to pass too much protein in our urine, and is usually caused when there is a damage to the clusters of small blood vessels in our kidneys that filter waste and excess water from the blood.
Symptoms: swelling, tired feeling, weight gain, etc. Swelling occurs particularly in the feet and ankles, and thus increases the risk of other minor and major health problems.
Hope this helps!!!
