The 14 pages that link to Nephrotic syndrome, each with the reason it gives.

• EdemaRelated: It links edema to protein loss and altered fluid distribution.

• AlbuminRelated: Damage to the filtration barrier lets albumin escape into urine.

• Kidney biopsyRelated: In adults, tissue diagnosis can guide treatment when this syndrome has an uncertain cause.

• PrednisoneRelated: Prednisone is a standard initial treatment for many children with minimal change disease causing this syndrome.

• ProteinuriaBroader topic: Marked proteinuria can be the defining feature of this syndrome.

• GlomerulonephritisCompared with: It contrasts with the blood-and-inflammation-dominant pattern typical of nephritic disease.

• Jonah LomuRelated: Lomu’s career and health were profoundly affected by the kidney disease he developed as a young man.

• NephrologyBroader topic: It prompts evaluation for glomerular disease and treatment of protein loss and swelling.

• UremiaCompared with: It is a distinct kidney syndrome, not the systemic waste-retention syndrome meant by uremia.

• PrednisoloneRelated: Prednisolone is used to induce remission in several forms, especially childhood minimal change disease.

• Focal segmental glomerulosclerosisRelated: Extensive filtration-barrier injury can produce the full nephrotic syndrome.

• Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritisCompared with: It contrasts with the hematuria and rapid filtration loss that characterize this syndrome.

• AnasarcaBroader topic: It is a specific cause of anasarca through albumin loss and renal sodium retention.

• High cholesterolRelated: It can cause substantial increases in blood cholesterol and triglycerides.
