Question
Hello, I haven’t done anything lately, so how did I get nephrotic syndrome? I hope you can help me.
Answer
Nephrotic syndrome is a common type of kidney disease, and there are many causes for it, mainly related to autoimmune reactions. The body’s immune response can lead to antibodies attacking the body’s own tissues, causing lesions. Its main manifestations include large amounts of proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, (severe) edema, and hyperlipidemia, as well as metabolic disorders. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular hospital as soon as possible.
