Nephrotic syndrome in itself isn't a disorder, but it can be the
first sign of a disease or a major problem in the kidneys. The most
common features of nephrotic syndrome are proteinuria (large
amounts of protein in the urine), hypoproteinemia (low level of
proteins, particularly albumin-a specific type of protein-in the
blood), hyperlipidemia (high level of lipids, or cholesterol, in
the blood), and edema (the abnormal accumulation of fluids in the
tissues of the skin or the extra-cellular space). Early diagnosis
of proteinuria is crucial to prevent any further damage such as
complete failure of the kidneys. If you or a loved on is suffering
from this syndrome, this informative book will become an invaluable
part of your medical library.
