    Nephrotic syndrome is a condition where the glomeruli in the kidneys become leaky, allowing protein that is normally not passed in the urine to leave the body in large amounts. A nursing care plan for nephrotic syndrome involves assessing fluid status, nutritional status, understanding of renal failure, factors contributing to low activity, and support of the patient and family. The goals are to monitor for fluid retention and imbalance, ensure adequate nutrition and calorie intake despite low protein needs, and address issues negatively impacting quality of life.
