Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephrotic Syndrome is a kidney disorder characterized by excessive protein loss in the urine, low blood protein levels, high cholesterol levels, and swelling (edema). It indicates that the kidneys’ filtering units (glomeruli) are damaged.

Occurs due to systemic diseases that affect multiple organs, including the kidneys.
