ephrotic syndrome Nephrotic Nephrotic syndrome (NS) results from increased permeability of Glomeulrar basement membrane ( GBM ) to plasma protein. It is clinical and laboratory syndrome characterized by massive proteinuria, which lead to hypoproteinemia ( hypoalbuminemia), hyperlipidemia and pitting edema. (4-increase,
1-decrease).
Nephrotic Criteria:*Massive proteinuria: qualitative proteinuria: 3+ or 4+, quantitative proteinuria : more than mg/m2/hr in children selective).
*Hypo-proteinemia : total plasma proteins < 5.5g/dl and serum albumin : < 2.5g/dl.
*Hyperlipidemia : serum cholesterol :
* Edema : pitting
