Nursing Diagnosis for Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephrotic syndrome is kidney disease with proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema. Nephrotic range proteinuria is 3 grams per day or more. On a single, "spot" urine collection, it is 2 grams of protein per gram of urine creatinine.

There are many specific causes of nephrotic syndrome. These include kidney diseases such as minimal-change nephropathy, focal glomerulosclerosis, and membranous nephropathy. Nephrotic syndrome can also result from systemic diseases that affect other organs in addition to the kidneys, such as diabetes, amyloidosis, and lupus erythematosus.
