Precursors of relapse of nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by patients having 24-hour urinary protein quantification exceeding 3.5g and blood plasma albumin levels lower than 30g/L. This condition can be long-lasting. Some patients, after treatment, can have their condition effectively controlled, but there is still a possibility of relapse. Such relapses often occur after the patient has been overworked or has caught a cold, but there are also some patients who do not have such triggers. When the condition relapses, the urinary protein level increases again, which might lead to an increase in urine foam. Patients might experience significant swelling in the lower limbs and face among other areas, suggesting a relapse of nephrotic syndrome, and it is important to go to the hospital for relevant tests promptly.
