What is nephrotic syndrome?

Patient's question:

My son was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome in January when he was 2 and a half years old. The main symptoms are swelling and protein +3.

Doctor's answer:

Intravenous albumin infusion: Since intravenous administration of albumin is excreted by the kidneys within 1 to 2 days, and it is also expensive. Additionally, large-scale intravenous use of albumin has side effects such as immunosuppression, hepatitis C, induction of heart failure, delayed remission, and increased recurrence rate.
