Generally speaking, any factor causing damage to glomerular filtration
membrane can lead to Nephrotic Syndrome.
Nephrotic Syndrome can be divided into two types of primary and
secondary.
Researches find that Primary Nephrotic Syndrome may be related with some
factors such as cellular immune changes, lipid metabolism disorders, the changes
of blood coagulation factor and masses of proteinuria. The causes of Secondary
Nephrotic Syndrome are usually bacterium infection, poisoning or allergy of
medicines tumor of stomach, lung, colon or thyroid, etc, systemic disease,
metabolic disease and hereditary disease, etc.The common histologic change for
Children with rimary Nephrotic Syndrome is Minimal Changes Nephrosis(MCN), for
adult patients is Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis(FSGS) , Membranous
Nephropathy(MN) and MCN. Latest data shows that MN and MCN have a tendency of
less happening but Membrane Nephropathy and IgA Nephropathy have increased year
by year.
Symptoms:One, masses of protein in urine, which is a prominent symptoms of
Nephrotic Syndrome.Two, Hypoproteinemia.Three, Hyperlipidaemia( HLP): this is
related with the formation of thrombosis and glomerular sclerosis.Four, Edema:
many patients pay more attention to this thing. Firstly, it occurs on eyelids,
faces, ankles. For a certain time, with the development of kidney disease, edema
spread to the whole body, patients present hydrothorax, ascites,
hydropericardium, pneumonedema.
Diet therapy:One, they should eat delicate and verdaulich food, avoid eating
seafood, spicy and stimulating food.Two, eat fresh vegetables, take in proper
amounts of fruit, and control the water intake,Three, eat more food with fibre,
which is very easy to relive the bowels.Four, patients with serious edema should
limit the salt intake.
Prevention of Nephrotic Syndrome:Many factors can affect the attack and
prognosis of Nephrotic Syndrome. So people should pay attention to a balance of
diet, taking exercises and improving immunity and strengthening the prevention
of disease.
