Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome

Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome is a kidney disorder commonly affecting children, characterized by the kidneys leaking too much protein into the urine. This leads to symptoms such as swelling (edema), especially in the face and legs, high protein levels in urine, and low protein levels in the blood. The cause can vary, often linked to infections or other underlying conditions. Treatment typically includes medications to reduce inflammation and control symptoms, along with dietary management. With proper care, most children respond well and can manage the condition effectively, though some may experience relapses.
