Medicine
1 answer:
AURORKA [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Nephrotic syndrome is a group of signs and symptoms due to <u>kidney damage.</u>  

It is characteristic:

- Proteinuria (>3,5 g per 1,73m2 body surface area per day)

- Hypoalbuminemia (<2,5 g/dl)

- Hyperlipidemia

- Edema (the first signs can be seen in the face)

The edema is caused <u>due to the hypoalbuminemia.</u> When oncotic pressure drops, fluid tends to accumulate in interstitial tissues, leaving intravascular space. In response to the dropped volume in intravascular space, the kidneys tends to <u>retain water and sodium</u>, this also contribute to edema developing.

Cancer occurs when a few of the body's cells grow out of control and spread to other internal organs. The trillions of cells that make up the human body are home to cancer, which can develop practically anywhere. Cancers are any of the many diseases that are characterized by the expansion of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably, have the ability to penetrate, and cause harm to good physiological tissue.

Cancer cells acquire gene alterations that transform them from healthy cells to cancer cells. These gene mutations can be passed down via families, develop gradually as we age and our genes deteriorate, or show up if we are exposed to chemicals that damage our genes, such as alcohol, tobacco smoke, or ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
