2. Lupus
There are various potential causes of nephrotic syndrome, one of which is lupus. This is an autoimmune condition which means that the patient’s body parts are being attacked by their own immune system. There is no cure to lupus, but the symptoms of the disease can often be managed.
Lupus is an inflammatory condition and it will result in a number of symptoms, include joint pain, fatigue, swollen glands, poor circulation, weight loss, and light sensitivity. The inflammation caused by the condition can also sometimes result in damage to the glomeruli, thus causing nephrotic syndrome.
