Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephrotic syndrome is heavy protein leak in urine with swelling — often first seen as puffy eyes in the morning.

Most childhood cases respond to a structured steroid plan, but infection and relapse are common. Families need a home urine-dip routine, not fear.

Understand

What we explain in clinic

Puffy mornings

Look

Eyelids, then feet and tummy, can swell as protein leaves in the urine.

Foam

Urine

Frothy urine and sudden weight gain from fluid are typical.

Infection risk

Care

Lost protein also means lost defence — fever in a nephrotic child is urgent.

Relapse

Pattern

Many children relapse. A dipstick at home catches it before the face balloons.

Evaluation

What we look for

Confirm

Tests

Urine protein, blood protein and cholesterol complete the picture.

Steroid talk

Plan

Dose, duration and side-effects are explained before the first tablet.

Salt & fluids

Diet

We tailor salt while the child is swollen — not a lifetime bland plate.

Vaccines

Protect

Some vaccines are timed around immunosuppression. We plan them.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Listen first

We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.

02

Examine & chart

Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.

03

Treat & follow

A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.

When to book

Call us for new puffiness, fever while on steroids, or a home dipstick that turns strongly positive.
