NEPHROTIC
SYNDROME
Mr. Abhijit Bhoyar
Lecturer
DEFINITION
Nephrotic syndrome is characterized
by massive protinuria
hypoalbuminemia, edema &
hyperlipidemia.
•Multisystem syndromes with or without nephritic
syndrome.
•Metabolic disorders with OR without nephritic syndrome.
•Idiopathic nephritic syndrome.
•Minimal change disease.
•Membranous nephropathy
•May also be consequence of inflammatory glomerular
disorder & features of nephritis.
TYPES( based on etiological factors)
Itisclassifiedbyprimary/idiopathic,secondaryandcongenital.

PATHOPHISIOLOGY
Due to etiological factors such as
idiopathic, Secondary & genetic
Glomerulardamage
Increased glomerular
permeability
Protenuria
&
Hypoalbumenemi
Decreased oncotic
pressure
Extravasations of fluid into the interstitial
space
Hypovolemia
Increased secretion of the RENNIN by the
kidney (RAAS stimulated)
Increased retention of sodium & water in
distal tubule caused edema
•Onset is insidious”thought to be caused by immune system
disturbances because it commonly occurs after a mild URI.
•Edemais typically the presenting symptom.
–Edema may be minimal or massive.
–Edema is usually first apparent around the eyes.
–Dependent edema occurs in areas of the body, such as the hands,
ankles, feet, and genitalia.
–Fluid that accumulates in the body spaces may give rise to ascites
and pleural effusions.
–Striae may appear on the skin from overstretching.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATION
•Profound weight gaincaused by edema; the child may
actually double normal weight.
•Decreased urine outputduring the edematous phase ”urine
appears concentrated and frothy.
•Pallor,
•Irritability,
•Lethargy,
•Fatigue.
•GI disturbances, including vomiting, diarrhea, and
anorexia caused by edema of intestinal mucosa.
•Hematuria and Oliguria
•Ascites
•Pleural effusion and respiratory distress
•Hepatomegaly
•Anaemia and infections
IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE DRUGS
•May be administered along with Predinosolone in
case of frequent relapses and in steroid dependent
cases
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
•Renal transplantation is indicated in end stage
renal failure due to steroid resistant glomerolo
sclerosis (focal and segmental)
1. Fluid volume excess related to fluid accumulation in
tissue.
2. Difficulty in breathing related disease condition.
3. Risk for infection related to urinary loss of protein
and chronic steroid use.
NURSING MANAGEMENT
Assessment
Nursing diagnosis
Nursing diagnosis
4. Altered nutrition less than body requirement related
to loss of proteins through urine and anorexia.
5. Anxiety related to disease condition.
COMPLICATIONS
•Coagulation disorders
•Thrombosis
•Recurrent infections of various system
•Renal failure
•Growth retardation
•PEM
•Calcium and Vit D deficiency
