With the right amount of fluid in the cells, you will not have swelling which is the main reason why nephrotic patients edema in their lower body parts, and around the face, etc.

Causes of nephrotic syndrome

Nephrotic syndrome is caused by damage to the clusters of glomeruli in the kidneys. The glomeruli help kidneys in the blood filtration process. The blood passes along the glomeruli where the things your body does not need are eliminated and the other things are kept. Healthy glomeruli keep the protein called albumin from seeping into the urine while damaged glomeruli may not be able to do so and cause nephrotic syndrome.

Such causes may include:

Diabetic kidney disease: Also called diabetic nephropathy, it is a condition characterized by the damage to the clusters of the kidneys because of high blood sugar levels.

Minimal change disease: Minimal change disease refers to the abnormal kidney function but when the kidney tissue is examined it appears normal and so-called minimal change. There is still no exact reason known why a person develops minimal change disease.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis: This condition is characterized by the scarring of some parts of the glomeruli may be because of genetic conditions or some unknown reason.

Systemic lupus erythematosus: It occurs because of some inflammation in the body that leads to serious kidney damage leading to protein loss from the blood.

Amyloidosis: It reflects upon when the amyloid proteins start accumulating in the organs. Amyloid builds up in the blood hamper kidney function in the first place.

Membranous nephropathy: This kidney disorder results in the thickening of the membranes within the glomeruli. Some conditions such as hepatitis B, malaria, lupus, some types of cancer result in deposits build up in the immune system and damage its capacity to fight against foreign activities.

Blood clots: Albumin prevents blood from clotting. Too little albumin in the blood can increase the risk of blood clots in your veins.

High cholesterol and triglycerides level: When the albumin level decreases in the blood, the liver makes more albumin to compensate for the loss. At the same time, the liver produces more cholesterol and triglycerides.

High blood pressure: Fluid retention because of albumin loss results in high blood pressure over time.

Infections: Proteins are needed in the body for various functional needs and the loss of protein reduces the body’s ability to fight against the infections.

Acute and chronic kidney failure: Reduced kidney function may result in acute kidney failure or chronic kidney failure if not treated with nephrotic syndrome ayurvedic medicine.
