Minimal Change Nephrotic Syndrome treatment in Celaya

Minimal change nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disease in which the organ's tiny filters allow large amounts of protein to leak into the urine. It is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in childhood, although it can also occur in adults.

Common symptoms: swelling in the face, the eyelids, the legs, or the abdomen, foamy urine, and weight gain from fluid retention.

Why is it called this? It gets that name because, when the kidney tissue is observed under the microscope, the changes seen are very subtle.

Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist, the pediatric nephrologist, and the internist are the ones who study and follow up on this condition. If unexplained swelling or very foamy urine appears, it is advisable to consult in order to assess kidney function with due attention.
