SÃntomas:
Puede haber sÃntomas de sÃndrome nefrótico:
- Hinchazón, especialmente alrededor de los ojos, en pies y tobillos y en el abdomen
- Orina con apariencia espumosa
- Aumento de peso (por retención de lÃquido)
- Apetito disminuido
Signos y exámenes:
El médico no podrÃa ver ningún signo exterior obvio, aparte de la hinchazón. Los vasos sanguÃneos y el análisis de orina revelan resultados caracterÃsticos del sÃndrome nefrótico, incluyendo niveles altos de proteÃna en la orina, bajos niveles de albúmina en la sangre y colesterol alto.
Una biopsia renal y el examen del tejido bajo el microscopio electrónico mostrarÃan los cambios clásicos de esta enfermedad. Asà mismo, un examen de la biopsia de tejido renal por inmunofluorescencia es negativo.
