Nephrotic and Nephritic Syndrome
Treatment for
Nephrotic Syndrome
What Are Nephrotic & Nephritic Syndrome?
Your kidneys contain tiny filters called glomeruli. When these filters get damaged due to infection, autoimmune disease, or other causes they stop working properly. This damage can lead to two main conditions:
Nephrotic Syndrome: Causes heavy protein loss in urine, swelling in the body, and high cholesterol.
Nephritic Syndrome: Involves blood in the urine, reduced kidney function, and high blood pressure due to inflammation.
Both conditions need early attention to prevent long-term kidney damage.

Medications to Control Inflammation
Steroids or immunosuppressants are used to reduce swelling and stop further damage to the kidney filters.
Managing Blood Pressure & Cholesterol
Controlling these helps protect your kidneys and reduce strain on your heart and vessels.
Diet & Fluid Management
A low-salt, kidney-friendly diet helps reduce swelling, lower blood pressure, and prevent further complications.

Have a Question?
We understand that kidney conditions can be confusing. Here are answers to some of the most common questions patients ask us.
Are these conditions permanent?
Not always. With early treatment, symptoms can improve and kidney damage can be slowed or even reversed in some cases.
What causes these syndromes?
They may be caused by infections, autoimmune diseases like lupus, certain medications, or underlying conditions like diabetes or high BP.
Will I need a kidney biopsy?
A biopsy is only needed if the cause isn’t clear from initial tests. It helps confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment more accurately.
Can children get Nephrotic or Nephritic Syndrome?
Yes. These conditions are seen in both adults and children. Nephrotic Syndrome is especially common in children and usually responds well to treatment.
Can I prevent these syndromes?
You can’t always prevent them, but managing diabetes, blood pressure, and avoiding harmful medications can reduce your risk.
Is it time for a kidney health check?
If you’re experiencing symptoms like swelling, foamy urine, or fatigue-don’t wait. The earlier we act, the better the outcome.
