Nephrotic Syndrome
7
The nephrotic syndrome is a clinical syndrome defined by:
• Leak of protein from blood into urine proteinuria
• Resulting in a decrease in serum proteins especially albumin
• Resulting
• hyperlipidemia,
• edema,
• and various other complications

Movement of Fluid Between Compartments
8
Fluid leaves plasma at arteriolar
end of capillaries because
outward force of hydrostatic
pressure predominates.
Fluid returns to plasma at
venular ends of capillaries
because inward force of colloid
osmotic pressure predominates.
Hydrostatic pressure within
interstitial spaces forces fluid
into lymph capillaries.
Interstitial fluid is in equilibrium
with transcellular and
intracellular fluids.

ELISA-measured anti-PLA2R antibodies predict long-term outcome in idiopathic membranous nephropathy
• a-PLA2R antibodies were present in 75% of IMN patients with
active disease
• a-PLA2R antibodies were higher than in patients in partial or
complete remission
• Survival analysis showed that PLA2R antibodies were
significantly linked with outcome
• High levels of PLA2R antibodies were linked with active
disease and a higher risk of declining renal function
