Preguntas frecuentes
El síndrome nefrótico no es una enfermedad en sí misma, sino un grupo de signos y síntomas que resultan del daño en la parte del riñón que filtra la sangre (glomérulos).
Los síntomas comunes incluyen:
- Orina espumosa (llamada proteinuria) causada por el «derrame» de proteínas en la orina
- Hinchazón severa en partes del cuerpo, más notable alrededor de los ojos, manos, pies y abdomen (llamado edema)
- Aumento de peso debido a la acumulación de líquido adicional
- Fatiga
- Pérdida de apetito
- Bajos niveles de proteínas en sangre (hipoalbuminemia)
- Niveles de grasa y colesterol en sangre más altos de lo normal (hiperlipidemia)
El síndrome nefrótico generalmente se puede diagnosticar con un análisis de orina.
El síndrome nefrótico puede ser de naturaleza «primaria» o «secundaria».
Las enfermedades que afectan solo a los riñones se denominan causas primarias del síndrome nefrótico. Los médicos a menudo llaman a estas enfermedades «idiopáticas», lo que significa que surgen de una causa desconocida. Algunas de estas enfermedades incluyen:
- Enfermedad de cambios mínimos (ECM/MCD): más común en los niños
- Glomeruloesclerosis focal y segmentaria (GSFS/FSGS)
- Nefropatía membranosa (NM/MN): más común en adultos
- Nefropatía por IgA (IgAN)
El síndrome nefrótico secundario es causado por una condición sistémica subyacente como diabetes, lupus, VIH y otras.
Kidney Health Gateway es un sitio web que pertenece y es operado por NephCure Kidney International. El objetivo de este sitio web es ayudar a los pacientes con formas raras de síndrome nefrótico primario a conectarse con la atención de expertos y las opciones de tratamiento de vanguardia. Al responder algunas preguntas sobre usted o la condición de su ser querido, podemos brindarle una lista de ensayos clínicos o médicos expertos en su área.
Si tiene preguntas adicionales, visite NephCure.org o envíe un correo electrónico a Info@NephCure.org.
