Nephrotic Syndrome Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Explained by Nephrologist

PACE Hospitals

Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder where the kidneys leak excessive protein into the urine due to damage to the filtering units, called glomeruli. Common causes include diabetes, lupus, and certain infections or medications. Symptoms include swelling (edema), particularly in the legs and around the eyes, foamy urine, weight gain, and fatigue. Diagnosis is confirmed through urine tests, blood tests, and sometimes a kidney biopsy. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, reducing symptoms with medications like diuretics and corticosteroids, and adopting a low-sodium, high-protein diet. Early management is crucial to prevent complications and maintain kidney health.

దీర్ఘకాలిక మూత్రపిండ వ్యాధి: లక్షణాలు, కారణాలు, సమస్యలు, రోగ నిర్ధారణ, చికిత్స & నివారణ
By Pace Hospitals September 14, 2023
Chronic kidney disease meaning in telugu - దీర్ఘకాలిక మూత్రపిండ వ్యాధి అనేది వివిధ కారణాల వల్ల (సాధారణంగా మధుమేహం, మెటబాలిక్ సిండ్రోమ్ మొదలైనవి) మూత్రపిండాల పనితీరు ను ప్రభావితం చేసి మూత్రపిండ కణజాళాన్ని నెమ్మదిగా క్షీణింపజేసి కోలుకోలేని మూత్రపిండ సిండ్రోమ్కు దారితీస్తుంది. ఇది అజోటెమియా (రక్తంలో నైట్రోజన్ ఉత్పత్తులు పోగవటానికి) కారణమవుతుంది. CKD చికిత్స చేయకపోతే, అది చివరికి మూత్రపిండాల వైఫల్యానికి దారి తీస్తుంది. కిడ్నీ ఫెయిల్యూర్ అనేది ఒక తీవ్రమైన పరిస్థితి, దీనిలో మూత్రపిండాలు ఇకపై రక్తం నుండి వ్యర్థ పదార్థాలు మరియు ద్రవాలను తొలగించలేవు. కిడ్నీ ఫెయిల్యూర్‌తో బాధపడుతున్న వ్యక్తులు జీవించడానికి డయాలసిస్ లేదా కిడ్నీ మార్పిడి అవసరం. CKDకి చికిత్స లేదు, కానీ చికిత్స వ్యాధి యొక్క పురోగతిని మందగించడానికి మరియు సమస్యలను నివారించడానికి సహాయపడుతుంది.

By PACE Hospitals August 26, 2023
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term (chronic) condition that affects the kidneys. In CKD, the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter blood. This can lead to a buildup of waste products and fluids in the body, which can cause a variety of health problems. The most common causes of CKD are diabetes and high blood pressure. CKD is often asymptomatic in the early stages. The goal of treatment is to slow the progression of the disease and maintain a good quality of life. With proper care, many people with CKD can live long and healthy lives.
