Massage Therapy for Nephrotic Syndrome, Oedema
Some of
the causes of nephrotic syndrome include:
Changes to the immune system (minimal change or
lipoid nephrosis) – this type is most common in
children. It is called ‘minimal change’ because the
kidney filters appear normal under a microscope. The
cause is thought to be changes in certain cells of
the immune system. The function of the kidneys is
normal and the outlook for recovery is usually excellent.
Inflammation – local inflammation or swelling
damages and scars the kidney filters. Examples of
this are focal sclerosis and membranous nephropathy.
Treatment may not resolve the condition and the
kidneys may gradually lose their ability to filter
wastes and excess water from the blood.
Secondary nephrotic syndrome – can be caused by
certain conditions including diabetes, drugs, cancer
and systemic lupus erythematosus.
