This can cause fluid retention (edema).
Nephrotic syndrome is urinary excretion of > 3 g of protein/day due to a glomerular disorder plus edema and hypoalbuminemia. Nephrotic syndrome develops when there is damage to the glomeruli, the structures in the kidneys that work to filter the blood . Supportive treatment of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome consists of fluid and salt restriction, protein intake tailored to the protein losses, prevention of thrombosis and infection, and -mainly in steroid resistant cases--measures to prevent of premature atherosclerosis and deterioration of kidney function.
