Patient's question:
Please ask: What are the causes of congenital nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Congenital nephrotic syndrome is a syndrome caused by increased permeability of the glomerular filtration membrane, leading to the loss of a large amount of plasma protein in the urine. It accounts for the second-highest incidence among pediatric urological diseases. Its clinical features include massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hypercholesterolemia, and significant edema. If a child is affected by pediatric nephrotic syndrome, parents must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid various misunderstandings. Symptomatic treatment should be administered promptly. For parents, it is essential to closely monitor the child's condition and provide as much support as possible to ensure timely treatment for the disease.
