Nephrotic Syndrome
In the presence of swelling in the body and foamy-looking urine, it is worth considering nephrotic syndrome, a set of signs that reflect that the kidneys are letting protein escape into the urine.
It is a kidney disorder in which the kidney's filtering system is altered, causing loss of protein, fluid retention, and swelling.
Characteristic signs: Edema in the legs, eyelids, or face, foamy urine and, at times, weight gain from fluid retention.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist is the one who studies and follows up on this condition, and in childhood the pediatric nephrologist takes part. If you notice swelling that does not go away or changes in urine, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional for an appropriate evaluation.
