What can Nephrotic syndrome lead to?
Ignoring the condition of nephrotic syndrome can lead to the following complications:
- Thromboembolism- Tendency to form blood clots easily, especially in the renal veins.
- Increased susceptibility to infections due to loss of immunoglobulins, which are nothing but types of proteins which are useful to combat infections. These proteins are lost in urine in increased numbers, leading to high chances of acquiring infections.
- Kidney Failure: As kidneys lose their function to filter blood, it may lead to either Acute or Chronic Kidney Failure.
- High Blood Cholesterol Levels and Triglycerides: Due to loss of albumin from the kidneys, liver starts making more albumins for compensation. However, in this process function of liver to produce cholesterol and triglycerides is also exaggerated causing their increased numbers.
- High Blood Pressure: Due to excess built up of waste products, blood pressure is elevated.
- Generalized anasarca: Excessive edema can also include the whole of the body called as anasarca, edema can involve coverings of the lungs called as the pleural cavity causing pleural edema and covering of the abdomen called the peritoneum causing ascites.
