Patient's question:
My uncle was carefully diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome at the end of last year by the hospital. I would like to ask, what is the definition of nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Hello, nephrotic syndrome refers to increased permeability of the glomeruli, characterized by large amounts of proteinuria, edema, elevated blood lipids, and hypoalbuminemia. In hypoalbuminemia, the albumin level is generally higher than 30 g/L, while large amounts of proteinuria primarily exceed 3.5 grams/24 hours. Currently, active understanding and treatment are required, otherwise the condition is prone to recurring or fluctuating.
