Spectrum of Nephrotic Syndrome in Adults: Experience in Single Tertiary Care Centre
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
The last decade has seen great advances in our understanding of the nephrotic syndrom. There are two ways in which one may define the nephrotic syndrome. One is clinical and comsprises massive albuminuaria, hypoaIbuminaemia and massive odema. The other is based on quantitation of urinary albumin excretion and is 3.5g/24hour/1.73 sq meter body surface area. Sometimes we find some patients with sever hypoalbuminemia who have lower measured protein excretion and nephrologist recommend clinical definition in them. It must be remembered that the nephrotic syndrom is just that a syndrom and it can be stage in the clinical presentation of a number of different disease .Here the aim is to study the spectrum of glomerular disease pattern in adult nephrotic patients as treatment will depend on that.
