Nephrotic Syndrome

A kidney disorder that causes the body to excrete too much protein in the urine.

Nephrotic syndrome is often caused by damage to small blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste and excess water from the blood.

The condition causes swelling, particularly in your feet and ankles, and increases the risk of other health problems.

Causes :

Nephrotic syndrome is usually caused by damage to the clusters of tiny blood vessels of your kidneys.
The glomeruli filter your blood as it passes through your kidneys separating things your body needs from those it doesn’t. Healthy glomeruli keep blood protein (mainly albumin) which is needed to maintain the right amount of the fluid in your body from seeping into your urine.
When damaged, glomeruli allow too much blood protein to leave your body leading to nephrotic syndrome.

Many diseases and conditions can cause glomerular damage and lead to nephrotic syndrome, including:

Diabetic Nephropathy
Minimal Change Disease : Results in abnormal kidney function, but when seen under the microscope it appears normal. The cause of the abnormal function typically can’t be determined.
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis : Characterized by scarring of some of the glomeruli this condition can result from another disease, a genetic defect, or certain medications.
Membranous Nephropathy : Membranous nephropathy is the result of thickening membranes within the glomeruli. Thickening occurs due to deposits made by the immune system.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus : This chronic inflammatory auto-immune disease can lead to serious kidney damage.
Amyloidosis : This disorder occurs when amyloid proteins accumulate in your organs. Amyloid build-up often damages the kidneys filtering system.

Symptoms :

Severe swelling (oedema) particularly around your eyes and in your ankles and feet.
Foamy urine.
Weight gains due to fluid retention.
Fatigue.
Loss of appetite.

Refugee Conflict : Refugee conflict is experienced as being thrown into the desert as feeling uprooted. g.; An unexpected transfer or move.

Homeopathic Approach :

Homeopathic medicines are quite effective in treating Nephrotic syndrome in children . Homeopathic medicines help to provoke a desirable immunological response by healing kidney damage.

Homeopathic Medicines :

Apocynum Cannabinum : Apocynum cannabinum is an effective medicine. Dropsy is accompanied by a great thirst for water. Works well for ascites, hydrothorax, and anasarca. There is less urine than usual and it is turbid and hot.
