Nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is a condition marked by
- very high levels of protein in the urine, a condition called proteinuria
- low levels of protein in the blood
- swelling, especially around the eyes, feet, and hands
- high cholesterol
Nephrotic syndrome results from damage to the kidneys' glomeruli - tiny blood vessels that filter wastes and excess water from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine.
