Speaking of kidney disorders, people are more familiar with the terms of kidney stones and kidney failure. Kidney term Leaks (Nephrotic Syndrome) is still foreign to the ear. Of course, these conditions have to be careful. In the world of medicine, Leakage Kidneys (Nephrotic Syndrome) is a collection of symptoms that means work involving the kidney organs.The term does not mean there is kidney leaking hole in the kidneys that causes leakage, but to describe the leak or release of protein (albumin) from the body through the urine (urine). Under normal circumstances, the kidneys work as a filter, so the protein can not be out of the body. If the body lots of protein release, automatic levels of any protein in the body decreases.
The nature of albumin is not held to the fluid out of blood vessels. When the body lacks albumin, easy fluid leak from blood vessels and cause the body to swell. If it is so, the body will make adjustments due to lack of albumin. One was by breaking the fat from the entire body, making cholesterol levels rise. So, the main symptoms of nephrotic syndrome or renal leak there were four, namely the release of protein through urine, lack of albumin, body swelling and increased cholesterol levels.
Swelling of body experiences
The exit of this protein in the urine due to the nature of the membrane (lining) that works as a filter has been changed. Remember, nature does not weaken, the only change for some reason. The cause of the changing nature of the filter layer into two major categories, namely :
First, because there is something in the kidney. This condition is called primary renal disease. This is usually caused by infection.
Second, because of non-renal diseases, but involving the kidney. For example, diseases associated with immune system like diabetes, malaria and can even be as well.

What should be emphasized, Nephrotic Syndrome with renal failure is different. Renal failure associated with renal function, whereas nephrotic syndrome associated with renal filter. It could be someone having nephrotic syndrome, but his kidney function was still normal. However, kidney failure can affect the handling of the nephrotic syndrome.
To determine whether a person is experiencing kidney leak can be detected through tests labotarium. This is necessary to make the diagnosis. One symptom is the swelling of the kidney is leaking body. Even so, body swelling caused by the kidney is not necessarily a leak. Diagnosis is most easily done through the initial urine test. If there are high levels of protein in the urine, should be continued handling.
Nephrotic syndrome caused by diabetes in mind when it enters a new stage. So, if sugar disease can be treated, the possibility of permanent kidney damage is huge. This is also affecting the recovery of patients. Cases can occur in patients with similar symptoms but different causes. These different causes that make why patients can be cured of A, while patient B is only partially cured, or even no recovery at all.
Besides the four main symptoms such as leakage of protein through the urine, lack of protein in the body, body swelling, and increased cholesterol levels, there are several symptoms that can accompany the nephrotic syndrome. This is because the causes are varied and can spread to other body parts.
These symptoms include :
• reduced appetite.
• shrinking muscle mass.
• Water piss (urine) foaming.
• Shortness of breath due to accumulation of fluid in the cavity around the lungs.
• Knee and pocket balls (in men) to swell.
• The child can decrease blood pressure when you're standing. The patient's blood pressure can be high or low rate.
• The volume of urine is reduced.
• Lack of nutrients due to loss of nutrients, so that growth can be stunted.
• There was inflammation in the lining of the stomach. This is because of the infection in the abdominal area. The infection is suspected due to reduced formation of antibodies or antibodies that out with a loss of urine.
• There was the formation of blood disorders that can increase the risk of clots in blood vessels.
