Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome is a clinical condition characterized by heavy proteinuria and manifested by edema. Daily loss of protein in the urine may vary, but a 24 hr protein loss exceeding 3.5 g on more than one occasion is the most important criterion used to establish the state of nephrotic syndrome. Accompanying but less important features are hypoalbuminemia and hyperlipidemia. These clinical and laboratory findings indicate renal parenchymal disease but fail to point toward the type of renal lesion.
