Article Synopsis
- Patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) show symptoms like swelling, high protein in urine, low albumin levels, and high lipids, with different causes in children (usually minimal change disease) versus adults (mainly FSGS and membranous nephropathy).
- Diagnosis involves checking proteinuria and serum levels, with kids often improving on steroid treatment, while adults typically need a kidney biopsy, unless they test positive for specific antibodies indicative of MN.
- Treatment for NS includes glucocorticoids to reduce proteinuria, but alternative therapies are needed for frequent recurrences or steroid resistance, along with lifestyle changes and precautions against blood clots for high-risk patients.
