About the Webinar

Nephrotic syndrome in children is a common pediatric kidney disorder characterized by heavy proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. Early recognition is crucial, as children often present with puffiness around the eyes, swelling of the face and limbs, frothy urine, and unexplained weight gain due to fluid retention. Parents and clinicians should also be alert to associated symptoms such as fatigue, reduced urine output, or recurrent infections. Prompt diagnosis through urine analysis and clinical evaluation helps initiate timely treatment, most commonly with corticosteroids. Early management and regular follow-up are essential to prevent complications and ensure better long-term kidney outcomes in affected children.
