Heavy protein loss in urine (proteinuria >3.5 g/day) with low albumin, edema, and high cholesterol - a hallmark of glomerular disease.
Nephrotic syndrome is defined by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. Causes split into primary glomerular diseases (minimal change, membranous, FSGS) and secondary (diabetes, lupus, amyloid). Complications include venous thromboembolism (from loss of antithrombotic proteins), infections, and acute kidney injury. Management: treat the underlying glomerular disease, reduce proteinuria with RAS blockade (and SGLT2 inhibitors where eligible), diuretics for edema, and anticoagulation in high-risk cases. Remission of proteinuria is the strongest predictor of long-term kidney survival.
Abnormal presence of protein in the urine, a key marker of kidney damage and the strongest predictor of CKD progression and cardiovascular risk.
Albumin leaking into urine — the earliest and most important marker of kidney filter damage, measured by urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR).
