Proteinuria - Nephrotic Syndrome

2012-09-16 17:09

The main feature of Nephrotic Syndrome is that the kidneys leak a lot of proteins. Normally, urine contains virtually no protein. In Nephrotic Syndrome, the urine contains large amounts of protein. What happens is that filters in the kidneys (the glomeruli) become 'leaky' and protein, instead of remaining in the blood, leaks out into the urine. Protein in the urine is called proteinuria.

For patients with Nephrotic Syndrome, the dietary proteins should make up for the loss of protein from urine. However, too much protein should also be avoided as it will produce excess urea product and aggravate burdens on the kidneys. Animal protein sources such as egg white, milk and lean meat are good choices for the patients.
