Disorders of the kidney
Nephrotic syndrome
-
pathophysiology
-
-
-
as the condition worsens, larger proteins(albumin) also leak out and are excreted in urine
As the body looses more proteins,serum albumin is decreased resulting in a decrease in osmotic pressure
-
circulating volume decreases due to loss of fluid to the interstitial spaces,resulting in the stimulation of aldosteron and the action of angiotensin 2 to bring about vasoconstriction and an elevated blood pressure
Sodium and water retention occur, causing more oedema
disease progresses to renal failure due to persistent hypovolaemia and accelerated atherosclerosis as a result of hyperlidaemia
Acute Pyelonephritis
