Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that allows the body to pass too much protein through the urine. It is a group of symptoms that exhibit following of the conditions:
• Too much protein through the urine
• A low protein level in the blood
• High levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood
• Swelling in the body
Nephrotic
syndrome is a condition related to the kidneys in which they are not
able to preserve protein in the blood. Amongst other proteins, albumin
helps the body maintain the balance of fluid and electrolyte. Albumin
prevents the fluid from skipping into cells and tissues and thereby
controls blood pressure level to an extent. 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.
Nephrotic syndrome mainly develops because of damage
to the clusters of the kidneys held responsible for sifting waste and
preserving the important substances needed by the body such as
nutrients. So you will need to consult nephrologist who has proficiency
in diagnosing and treating kidney disease. You can also take nephrotic syndrome ayurvedic medicine for a faster recovery and to prevent the risk of chronic kidney disease in the future.
Can nephrotic syndrome be treated with the help of dietary modifications?

crucial role in slowing down the risk of nephrotic syndrome into
chronic kidney disease. But the only diet cannot stop or cure nephrotic
syndrome and you will need medications along with.
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.
Every cause of nephrotic syndrome has a cure if you take nephrotic syndrome ayurvedic treatment.
What are the risk factors associated with nephrotic syndrome?
Infections: The risk of nephrotic syndrome increases with infections like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and malaria.
Medications:
Excess consumption of medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs, over the counter painkillers, etc can pose a threat to the
kidneys.
Medical condition: These conditions are known to be the secondary causes of nephrotic syndromes, such as lupus, reflux nephropathy, diabetes, etc.
What may be the complications of nephrotic syndrome?
Possible comorbidities of nephrotic syndrome may include:
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.
What are the signs of nephrotic syndrome?
The signs of nephrotic syndrome may include:
• Severe swelling
• Foamy urine because of albumin in it
• Weight gain due to fluid retention
• Fatigue
• Loss of appetite
