This article explores the importance of early detection and management of nephrotic syndrome in children, a kidney disorder characterized by significant protein loss in urine, low blood albumin levels, and swelling. Nephrotic syndrome can lead to severe complications, including kidney damage, if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Early diagnosis allows for timely intervention, which is essential for effective treatment and the prevention of long-term health problems. This work discusses the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic methods used to identify nephrotic syndrome in children. It also emphasizes the crucial role of early intervention in improving the prognosis, reducing complications, and preventing kidney damage.
