Cross-species summary: Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder in which the body excretes too much protein in the urine. The syndrome is characterised by proteinuria, hypoalbuminaemia and oedema. Nephrotic syndrome is often caused by damage to small blood vessels in the kidneys and can be the consequence of various underlying health conditions, including glomerulonephritis and amyloidosis. Several inherited forms have been described in humans.
