Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Background: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a renal disorder characterized by the loss protein urine, hypoalbuminemia, and edema.Hypoalbuminemia and low hemoglobin levels are the common complications of NS which are associated with the adverse clinical outcomes as well.Proteinuria is the presence of excessive protein in urine and a clinical manifestation indicative of various underlying health conditions.This research article aims to provide a comprehensive outcome of proteinuria-its causes, diagnostic methods and the management strategies.Through an extensive knowledge on review of current literature and clinical studies, this study explains how low albumin levels and hemoglobin levels are correlated.These are the diagnostic and the management approaches to nephrotic syndrome Protein urine is one of the crucial parameter for the effective diagnosis and the management of NS and associated clinical conditions.Materials and method: The study was approved by the institutional ethics committee.This study was conducted to know the status of hypoalbuminemia, proteinuria, and anemic status in patients with NS at diagnosis, after follow-up and healthy control.Serum albumin levels and the urine proteins were measured in VITROS 5600 by using the biuret method and hemoglobin concentrations were assessed in D10.We evaluated and compared the levels of serum albumin, hemoglobin concentration, and urinary protein concentration in patients with nephrotic syndrome at initial diagnosis and after the follow-up of three months and with healthy control with different levels of proteinuria noticed in NS.Conclusion: This study explains the role of biochemical changes along with periodic medications in managing the disease.Our current study highlighted the importance of proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and anemia in NS and disease management.Management of these parameter values could have more importance in taking timely interventions and management aspects.
