Nephrotic Syndrome
Nephrotic Syndrome, also known as minimal change disease, is a rare autoimmune kidney disease that affects the kidneys and can cause various symptoms such as proteinuria, hematuria, edema, and decreased urine output. It is characterized by the production of autoantibodies that cause damage to the glomeruli and interstitial tissues. The most common cause of nephrotic syndrome is a genetic predisposition, with the majority of cases occurring in families with a history of autoimmune disorders. Treatment typically involves a combination of medications to reduce inflammation and slow down the progression of the disease. The prognosis varies depending on the severity of the nephrotic syndrome and the promptness and effectiveness of treatment, but in general, it is considered a chronic and progressive disease with a high degree of morbidity.
