Nephrosis is a medical term for a condition that damages the kidneys, known
as Nephrotic Syndrome. This disease occurs when the kidneys fail to function
adequately to filter waste or remove excessive fluid from the body. Since the
filtering system is impaired, imbalance of proteins and urine within the body
can be caused. Left untreated, Nephrosis may lead to infections, heart and
kidney failure. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of this disorder may help
provide prompt treatment as early as possible.
The first symptom is often frothy, or foamy urine. As the illness progresses,
swelling, or edema will develop in the eyelids, hands, feet, knees, abdomen, and
scrotum. Patient may feel increasingly weak and fatigued and loss of appetite.
Over time, shrinking and weaken muscles may appear due to gradual loss of
proteins. The patient may also suffer from abdominal pain, high blood pressure,
and difficulty breathing.
Too much loss of protein can unfortunately result in general malnutrition.
Your nails and hair become brittle, and the growth is stunted. You may have weak
bones, and your body will begin to lose some important nutrients such as
calcium, sugar, and potassium. Serious complications of Nephrosis include
infection and blood clots. In some cases, Acute Renal Failure may be caused.
All the above signs and symptoms appear due to damage of the glomeruli-tiny
filters of the kidney. This filters becomes defective, allowing massive protein
to leave the blood circulation and pass out of the body in the urine. So in
order to eliminate your discomforts permanently, we must repair the damaged
glomeruli.
