Nephrotic Syndrome Complications - New and Old. Part 1.

Nephrotic syndrome is a rare condition with an incidence of 2-7 cases/100.000 children per year and three new cases/100.000 adults per year. It occurs as a result of severe alteration of the glomerular filtration barrier of various causes, allowing proteins, mostly albumin, to be lost in the urine. Nephrotic syndrome complications are driven by the magnitude of either proteinuria or hypoalbuminemia, or both. Their frequency and severity vary with proteinuria and serum albumin level. Besides albumin, many other proteins are lost in urine. Therefore, nephrotic patients could have low levels of binding proteins for ions, vitamins, hormones, lipoproteins, coagulation factors. The liver tries to counterbalance these losses and will increase the unselective synthesis of all types of proteins. All of these changes will have different clinical consequences. The present paper aims to discuss the pathophysiological mechanism and new therapeutic recommendations for nephrotic syndrome edema and thromboembolic complications.
