, What are key features of nephrotic syndrome? -
Massive proteinuria
-Hypoalbuminemia
-Edema (facial and periorbital)
-Lipiduria

-Reduced kidney function
In nephrotic syndrome, severe protein loss in the urine is 3.5g in 24 hours
greater than what?
What is nephrotic syndrome treated with? -immunosuppressant agents (if immunity based).
-ACE inhibitors (decreased protein loss in urine)
-statins (improve blood lipid levels).
-Heparin (used to treat vascular effects and improve kidney function)
Describe Prerenal AKI. Give examples. Decreased perfusion to kidneys.
-NSAIDs
-Severe dehydration
-Renal artery stenosis
