Nephrosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Nephrosis, or nephrotic syndrome, is a kidney disorder in which an excessive amount of protein is lost through the urine. This affects the body's fluid balance.
Common symptoms: swelling in the eyelids, legs, or abdomen, foamy urine, weight gain from fluid retention, and tiredness.
When should you see a doctor? Persistent swelling or urine with a foamy appearance are reasons to seek an evaluation.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist is the specialist in kidney diseases, and in childhood the pediatric nephrologist provides follow-up; the urologist may participate in part of the workup. If you notice these changes, discussing them with a professional helps clarify the origin of the nephrosis.
