Prognosis for Nephrotic syndrome
Prognosis for Nephrotic syndrome:
Nephrotic syndrome may go away once the underlying cause, if known, has
been treated.
In children, 80 percent of nephrotic syndrome cases are
caused by minimal change disease, which can be successfully treated with
prednisone.
However, in adults most of the time a kidney disease is the
underlying cause, and these diseases cannot be cured.

Article Excerpts about Nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic Syndrome in Adults: NIDDK (Excerpt)
Nephrotic syndrome is a condition marked by very
high levels of protein in the urine; low levels of protein in the blood;
swelling, especially around the eyes, feet, and hands; and high
cholesterol. Nephrotic syndrome results from damage to the kidneys'
glomeruli (the singular form is glomerulus). Glomeruli are
tiny blood vessels that filter waste and excess water from the blood and
send them to the bladder as urine.
