Nephrotic and Nephritic Syndromes

Nephrotic and Nephritic Syndromes are two distinct but related conditions that involve the kidneys’ glomeruli, the structures responsible for filtering blood. Nephrotic Syndrome is characterized by significant proteinuria (high levels of protein in the urine), hypoalbuminemia (low levels of albumin in the blood), edema (swelling, often in the legs and around the eyes), and hyperlipidemia (elevated levels of lipids in the blood). This condition results from damage to the glomeruli, which allows proteins to leak into the urine. Common causes include minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and membranous nephropathy. Nephrotic syndrome can lead to complications such as infections, blood clots, and kidney damage due to the loss of vital proteins and the body’s subsequent imbalance.
Nephritic Syndrome, on the other hand, is marked by hematuria (blood in the urine), hypertension (high blood pressure), oliguria (reduced urine output), and varying degrees of proteinuria. This syndrome often results from inflammation of the glomeruli, which impairs their filtering ability and leads to the presence of blood and small amounts of protein in the urine. Common causes of nephritic syndrome include post-infectious glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy, and lupus nephritis. The inflammation associated with nephritic syndrome can cause swelling, high blood pressure, and potentially reduced kidney function, which requires careful management to prevent progression.
