Protein in the urine is not always due to nephrotic syndrome but is often a cause of underlying kidney disease. (An exception would be protein in the urine caused by a urinary tract infection.) The amount of protein lost can be measured by more detailed urine and blood tests.

Patients have no hematuria and the amount of protein in urine is less than 0.5g/day. 2. Kidney function is normal without relapse of kidney disease. 3. There are no high blood pressure, urinary tract infection and other complications. If you have been diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, we're here to help.

·Swelling (edema). Nephrotic Syndrome can be primary or secondary. The most common types of primary NS are the Minimal Change Disease (MCD) and FSGS. 75% of children and 20% of adults with NS have got MCD. A secondary form means that it is the result of another disease including cancer, HIV-infection or Diabetes.

Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) describes a condition in which the kidneys leak large and abnormal amounts of protein into the urine. When the protein is lost in the urine, this lead to puffiness or swelling (edema), often of the eyelids, feet and ankles, and eventually the abdomen.

Nephrotic syndrome is a condition where the 'filters' in the kidney become 'leaky' and large amounts of protein leak from your blood into your urine. The main symptom is fluid retention (oedema) which is mainly due to the low protein level in the blood.

If a person has Nephrotic Syndrome, a blood test may show low levels of the protein albumin specifically and, often, decreased levels of blood protein overall. ·Creatinine and creatinine clearance.

Doctors diagnose nephrotic syndrome using: 1  Urine tests to measure the amount of protein in your urine. 2  Blood tests to measure the amount of protein, cholesterol, and sugar (glucose) in your blood. 3  Ultrasound to look at the kidneys. 4  This test can rule out other causes of your symptoms.

As a result, fluid builds up in the tissues and causes swelling. Nephrotic syndrome is often caused by: 1  A type of kidney disease called minimal change disease (or nil disease). 2  This is the main cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. 3  Doctors don't know what causes minimal change disease. 4  Diabetes.

Normally, urine contains virtually no protein. In nephrotic syndrome the urine contains large amounts of protein. What happens is that filters in the kidneys (the glomeruli) become 'leaky' and protein, instead of remaining in the blood, leaks out into the urine. Protein in the urine is called proteinuria.

The urine contains large amounts of protein, if someone has nephrotic syndrome. In nephrotic syndrome the urine contains large amounts of protein.
