Nephrotic Syndrome:

Nephrotic Syndrome represents a kidney disorder which causes urine protein leakage together with swelling (edema) and elevated cholesterol levels and enhanced susceptibility to infections and blood clot formation. The condition develops due to different types of kidney diseases and immune system problems as well as inherited genetic factors. The symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome include swollen legs and eyes and abdomen as well as frothy urine and fluid retention which causes weight gain.

The specialists at Dr. Kiran’s Renal Center use clinical assessment and urine testing combined with blood analysis together with kidney biopsy procedures and imaging tools for Nephrotic Syndrome diagnosis and care management. The treatment approach for each patient depends on their specific cause of Nephrotic Syndrome by combining corticosteroids with immunosuppressants and diuretics and medications for managing cholesterol and blood pressure. The control of Nephrotic Syndrome symptoms alongside the prevention of serious complications depends heavily on proper dietary advice that includes both limited sodium and increased protein consumption.

The treatment of recurring or steroid-unresponsive Nephrotic Syndrome at our facility includes patient access to both targeted biologic medications and plasma exchange treatments. We aim to manage protein loss and decrease swelling and enhance kidney function duration to provide better life quality for our patients.
