Medical Conditions - Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephrotic syndrome occurs when the filtering unit of the kidneys gets damaged. The clusters of small blood vessels in the kidneys are the ones that filter waste and excess water from the blood. This makes the body pass too much protein in the urine. The primary cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults is focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
