Nephrotic syndrome can be classified into primary or secondary depending the underlying etiology.  Primary (idiopathic) nephrotic syndrome is defined as nephrotic syndrome due to a primary glomerular disease.  Secondary nephrotic syndrome is defined as nephrotic syndrome due to a primary etiology other than glomerular disorders, such as infections, malignancies, systemic conditions, and medications.
Nephrotic syndrome can be classified into primary or secondary depending on the underlying etiology.  Primary (idiopathic) nephrotic syndrome is defined as nephrotic syndrome due to a primary [[glomerular]] disease.  Secondary nephrotic syndrome is defined as nephrotic syndrome due to a primary etiology other than glomerular disorders, such as [[infection]]s, [[malignancies]], systemic conditions, and [[medication]]s.

Overview

Nephrotic syndrome can be classified into primary or secondary depending on the underlying etiology. Primary (idiopathic) nephrotic syndrome is defined as nephrotic syndrome due to a primary glomerular disease. Secondary nephrotic syndrome is defined as nephrotic syndrome due to a primary etiology other than glomerular disorders, such as infections, malignancies, systemic conditions, and medications.

Secondary Nephrotic Syndrome

Secondary nephrotic syndrome is defined as nephrotic syndrome due to a primary etiology other than glomerular disorders, such as infections, malignancies, systemic conditions, and medications. The most common cause of secondary nephrotic syndrome is diabetes mellitus.
