In this disease, high levels of protein, mainly albumin is passed on from
the blood into the urine due to improper filtration. This happens because the
glomeruli, tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that help in the removal of toxins
and waste from the blood to the urine stop functioning properly due to
inflammation of the development of chronic kidney disease.
There are a number of diseases
that cause nephrotic syndrome categorised as primary and secondary diseases.
Primary diseases are those that directly affect the kidney whereas secondary
diseases are usually membranous neuropathy- an example of which is the IgA
nephropathy when the clumps deposit themselves on the glomeruli leading the blockage
or improper filtration.Causes of nephrotic syndrome include:
- Diabetic kidney disease- diabetes in the body can also lead to kidney disease affecting the glomeruli.
- Amyloidosis- amyloid proteins accumulate in the kidneys and other organs.
- Blood clot in a kidney vein- blood clot blocks the kidney passage and in turn the kidney function.
- Systemic lupus erythematous- chronic kidney disease leading to kidney damage.
- Membranous neuropathy- glomeruli thicken and stop functioning properly, leading to release of protein in the urine.
- Minimal change disease- the kidney tissue when examined in this disease appears to be normal but is not and is the major cause of nephrotic syndrome.
- Medications- certain medications can cause kidney damage.
- Infections- infections like HIV, hepatitis B, C and malaria.
- Medical conditions- medical conditions like lupus, diabetes and hypertension.
