Nephrotic syndrome is kidney disease with proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and edema. Nephrotic range proteinuria is 3 grams/day or more On single spot urine collection, it is 2 g of protein per gram of urine creatinine
etiology
Common primary causes of nephrotic syndrome include kidney disease such as:
Minimal-change nephropaty Menbranous nephropathy Focal glomerulosclerosis
Cont
Secondary causes include systemic disease such as:
Diabetes mellitus Lupus erythematous Amyloidosis Congenital and hereditary focal glomerulosclerosis Drugs abuse such as heroin Medication can cause nephrotic syndrome : NSAID (MCN) and administration of older drugs of rheumatic (MN)
Nephrotic range proteinuria could occur with the use of Anticancer agent such as bevacizumab that inhibit vasculat endothelial growth factor (VEGF) NRP occuring in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy is the clasical finding of preeclampsia, hypertension develops as well
epidemiology
United states statistics Diabetic nephropathy with nephrotic syndrome is most common, at an estimated rate of at least 50 case/ million population In children, nephrotic syndrome may occur at a rate of 20 cases per million children
Male predominance in the occurance of nephrotic syndrome However, lupus nephritis affects mostly women
pathogenesis
An increase in glomerular permeability leads to albuminuria and eventually to hypoalbuminemia. Hypoalbuminemia lowers the plasma colloid osmotic pressure, causing greater transcapillary filtration of water throughout the body and thus the development of edema With high capillary hydrostatic pressure or a low intravascular oncotic pressure, edema occurs
infection
Urinary immunoglobulin losses Edema fluid acting as a culture medium Protein deficiency Immunosuppressive therapy Decreased perfusion of the spleen
hyperlipidemia
Related with hypoproteinemia and low serum oncotic pressure of nephrotic syndrome which then leads to reactive hepatic protein synthesis, including lipoprotein Elevated lipoprotein are filtered at the glomerulus leading to lipiduria
hypocalcemia
Its not a true hypocalcemia, but caused by low serum albumin level. Low bone density and abnormal bone caused by urinary losses of vitamin D and reduced intestinal calcium absorption But it is possible that long duration of either nephrotic syndrome or treatments (prednisone) are the important risk factor for bone disease
hypercoagulability
Venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are complications of the NS. This can appear from urinary loss of antikoagulant proteins, such as :
Antithrombin III Plasminogen Along with the simultaneous increase in clotting factors : factors I, VII, VIII and X VTE at NS 10 times higher than normal people
