summary

I have nephrotic syndrome and I'm still taking medicine. But it's almost good, but in recent days, lower limb edema suddenly appeared, and now the condition is stable. In order to prevent you from the same disease, let me introduce the complications of nephrotic syndrome.

Complications of nephrotic syndrome

First: it can lead to renal tubular dysfunction: renal tubular dysfunction of nephrotic syndrome, especially in children. The mechanism is that the renal tubule reabsorbs the filtration protein and damages the tubular epithelial cells. It is often manifested as diabetes, amino acid urine, hyperphosphatemia, renal tubular potassium loss and Hyperchloric acidosis. The occurrence of multiple renal tubular dysfunction often indicates poor prognosis.

Second, it can lead to abnormal bone and calcium metabolism: nephrotic syndrome is often characterized by hypocalcemia, and sometimes fibrocystic osteitis caused by osteomalacia and hyperparathyroidism. In the progression of nephrotic syndrome, osteodystrophy is more serious than advanced renal failure and toxicosis.

Third: cause coronary heart disease: it has been reported that the incidence of myocardial infarction in patients with nephrotic syndrome is 8 times higher than that in normal people. Coronary heart disease has become the third cause of death in nephrotic syndrome (after infection and renal failure).
