  1. NEPHROTIC SYNDROME

  2. Common Causes of Benign Proteinuria Dehydration Emotional stress Fever Heat injury Inflammatory processIntense activity Most acute illnesses Orthostatic (postural) disorder

  3. NEPHROTIC SYNDROME • PROTEINURIA • EDEMA • HYPERLIPIDEMIA • LIPIDURIA • HYPERCOAGULABILITY

  4. CAUSES OF HYPERLIPIDEMIA • INCREASED LIPOPROTEIN SYNTHESIS • INCREASED LOSS OF REGULATOR PROTEINS • DEFECTIVE LIPID CATABOLISM

  5. CAUSES OF HYPERCOAGULABILITY • DECREASED ANTITHROMBIN III • DECREASED PROTEIN S & C • HYPERFIBRINOGENEMIA • ICREASED PLATELET AGGREGABILITY

  6. OTHER METABOLIC COMPLICATION • PROTEIN MALNUTRITION • ANEMIA • HYPOCALCEMIA • DECREASED THYROXINE LEVEL • SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INFECTION

  7. POOR PROGNOSIS FACTORS IN MGN • MALE SEX • HYPERTENSION • DECREASED GFR • OLD AGE • SEVERE PROTEINURIA • SEVERE HYPERLIPIDEMIA
