Overview
Nephrotic syndrome can be either primary or secondary to diseases. Primary renal disorders, such as primary glomerulonephritides, may cause primary nephrotic syndrome. The most common cause of secondary nephrotic syndrome in adults is diabetes mellitus.
Causes
Primary Causes
Primary renal disorders, such as primary glomerulonephritides, may cause primary nephrotic syndrome. Differentiation between different types of glomerular diseases is often made by clinical suspicion and by renal biopsy, which includes light microscopy, immunofluorescence, and ideally electron microscopy.
Secondary Causes
Secondary causes of renal disorders cause secondary nephrotic syndrome. The most common cause of secondary nephrotic syndrome in adults is diabetes mellitus. Shown below is a table of the causes of nephrotic syndrome by age group.
