Question 1

what disease would cause nephrotic syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Proper medication: Minimal change (or nil) disease.  Correctly diagnosed by biopsy but frequently diagnosed by the symptoms of proteinuria, edema and intact renal function with a bland urine sediment. This responds to steroid therapy most of the time. The presence of blood in the urine, or failure to respond to steroids indicates need for biopsy of kidney with therapy based on those results. Case needs nephrologist.

Question 2

what is the best foods for kid having nephrotic syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Whole foods : If your child is in remission (no proteinuria)  a regular age appropriate diet is best.   If your child is on Prednisone a carbohydrate restricted diet (minimizing simple sugars) is best to minimize weight gain.   If your child is spilling protein,  severe salt restriction and fluid restriction in addition.   I would recommend a whole foods based diet to minimize cardiovascular complications.

Question 5

nephrotic syndrome and tattoos, how are they related?

Accepted Answer

Not related: There have not been any reported cases of tattoos causing nephrotic syndrome. In fact many patients with kidney problems have had tattoos without any related problem. There is a slight risk of skin infections following tattoos also some serious medical problems if unsterile  tattoo needles are used. Subjects should always make sure that only new tattoo needles are used.

Question 6

can you get a tattoos if you have nephrotic syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Well! Yes: You can do everything while being a Nephrotic Syndrome Patient. You are immunocompromised by virtue of the fact that some of the proteins that you are spilling out in urine can be important part of your immune system. Also the Meds to keep the disease in control ( ie immune modulators and steroids) do cause further immune compromise. Increase risk of HCV with tattoos

Question 7

how long should i take prednisolone for nephrotic syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Steroid treatment: The treatment of nephrotic syndrome in adults using steroids (s) is usually for 12-20 weeks. The n response to s is variable, depending on the renal disease being treated. Minimum change disease responds better than focal sclerosis. If s do not resolve proteinuria, other agents may be used. Please speak to your nephrologist for more information concerning you particular case. Good luck.

Question 8

what can we do to help our 4 yr old with nephrotic syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Be Proactive: As the parent of a child with a complicated disease like nephrotic syndrome find the best pediatric nephrologist you can.  They are usually found at children's hospitals to confirm the diagnosis and initiate treatment, usually steroids.  There are many types of nephrotic syndrome so a good initial evaluation is important. See http://www.Nephcure.Org/nephrotic-syndrome-facts.

Question 9

what is the latest treatment for nephrotic syndrome in children?

Accepted Answer

Steroids: Kids with nephrotic syndrome spill protein in their urine due to inflammation of the membrane that filters blood. This leads to swelling throughout the body as there is not enough protein in the blood to prevent fluid from leaks out of the vessels. Treatment is steroids to knock down the inflammation and stop the proteins from leaking out.  The problem usually resolves fairly quickly when treated.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Renal disease : Nephrotic syndrome does tend to be a chronic disease with scarring of the kidneys but the extent is difficult to determine unless you are referred to a nephrologist to further evaluate your renal function.
