Nephrotic Syndrome is Characterized by Severe

Question

Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by severe:
A) Proteinuria.
B) Nocturia.
C) Polyuria.
D) Dysuria.

Accepted Answer

Nephrotic syndrome is primarily characterized by excessive excretion of proteins in the urine, which can lead to hypoalbuminemia (a decrease in the level of albumin in the blood) and edema (swelling of various body parts). Nocturia (frequent urination during the night), polyuria (excessive urination), and dysuria (painful or difficult urination) are not the definitive features of nephrotic syndrome.
