Understanding Nephrotic Syndrome
Nephrotic Syndrome is a renal disorder characterized by excessive excretion of protein in the urine due to damage to the glomeruli—tiny blood vessels in the kidneys responsible for filtering waste. This damage impairs the kidneys' ability to retain essential proteins, leading to symptoms such as proteinuria, fluid retention, and other related complications. The primary manifestations include proteinuria, high cholesterol levels, and decreased albumin levels.
Types of Nephrotic Syndrome
- Primary Nephrotic Syndrome: Originates from kidney-specific issues, including:
- Minimal Change Disease (MCD)
- Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
- Membranous Nephropathy
- Secondary Nephrotic Syndrome: Results from systemic diseases or conditions affecting the kidneys, including:
- Diabetic Nephropathy
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
- Infections
- Medications and Toxins
- Hereditary Nephrotic Syndrome: Caused by genetic mutations, often presenting from birth or early childhood, including:
- Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome
- Genetic Mutations
Symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome
• Proteinuria: Excess protein in the urine, making it appear foamy.
• Weight Gain: Resulting from fluid retention.
• High Cholesterol and Triglycerides: Common complications due to protein loss.
• Decreased Albumin Levels: Detectable through blood tests.
• Possible Complications: Acute renal failure, high blood pressure, and deteriorating overall health.
Precautions When Managing Nephrotic Syndrome
- Consult a Healthcare Provider: Seek advice before starting any new treatment regimen to ensure safety and appropriateness.
- Regular Monitoring: Undergo regular check-ups to monitor kidney function, protein levels, and overall health.
- Dietary Adjustments: Follow a diet low in sodium, fat, and protein, complementing this with Ayurvedic recommendations.
- Avoid Self-Medication: Do not rely solely on natural remedies without proper diagnosis and guidance from a healthcare professional.
- Hydration: Maintain proper hydration but avoid excessive fluid intake if advised by your healthcare provider to prevent fluid overload.
- Monitor Symptoms: Be vigilant about any changes in symptoms and consult your healthcare provider if symptoms worsen or new issues arise.
