Nefrotic Disease Syndrome and tips on how to treat

Description:
Nephrotic syndrome was a disorder caused by damage to small blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste and excess into the water from the blood. When healthy, these tiny blood vessels keep the protein from the blood seeps into the urine and out of the body. When damaged, do not perform this function effectively, and protein can leak out of your blood and causes swelling (edema).

Treatment for nephrotic syndrome including treating the conditions that caused it and take medicine. Nephrotic syndrome may increase the risk of infection and blood clots. Nephrotic syndrome is caused by damage to small blood vessels (glomeruli) of the kidney.

- Swelling (edema), particularly around the eyes and in ankle and foot
- Foam water in the toilet, which can be caused by excess protein in your urine
- Weight loss due to excess fluid retention

Treatment
Treatment for nephrotic syndrome involves treating the underlying medical condition. In addition, your doctor may prescribe an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) to reduce the amount of protein in the urine and prevent kidney disease from getting worse.
