Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. It results from increased permeability of the glomerular basement membrane. The majority of cases are primary or idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. Treatment involves corticosteroids, diet modifications to reduce proteinuria, and managing complications such as edema and infection risk. Nursing care focuses on fluid balance, nutrition, infection prevention, and family education and support.

Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

nephrotic syndrome.pptx
1.
2. NEPHROTIC SYNDROME
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) results from increased
permeability of Glomerular basement membrane
(GBM) to plasma protein.
Nephrotic syndrome is a clinical state characterized
by massive proteinuria, hypo-albuminemia,
hyperlipidemia and pitting edema.it is sometimes
accompanied by hematuria ,hypertension and reduced
GFR
3. Nephrotic criteria
Massive proteinuria:
Qualitative proteinuria: 3+ or 4+,
Quantitative proteinuria : more than 40 mg/m2/hr in
children (selective).
Hypo-proteinemia :
Total plasma proteins < 5.5g/dl and serum albumin : <
2.5g/dl.
Hyperlipidemia:
Serum cholesterol : > 5.7mmol/L
Edema: pitting edema in different degree
4. Hematuria: RBC in urine (gross hematuria)
Hypertension:
≥130/90 mmHg in school-age children
≥120/80 mmHg in preschool-age children
≥110/70 mmHg in infant and toddler’s children
Azotemia(renal insufficiency):
Increased level of serum BUN 、Cr
Hypo-complementemia:
Decreased level of serum c3
6. Classification
A-Primary Idiopathic NS (INS): majority
The cause is still unclear up to now. Recent 10 years
,increasing evidence has suggested that INS may result
from a primary disorder of T– cell function.
Accounting for 90% of NS in child. mainly discussed.
B-Secondary NS:
NS resulted from systemic diseases, such as anaphylactoid
purpura , systemic lupus erythematosus, HBV infection.
C-Congenital NS: rare
1st 3month of life ,only treatment renal transplantation
7. Etiology
PRIMARY RENAL CAUSES
Nephropathy
Glomerulosclerosis
Acute post streptococcal GN
Immune complex GN
11. IDIOPATHIC NS PATHOLOGY
Minimal Change Nephropathy (MCN): <80%
The glomeruli appear normal basically Under Light
microscopy, and Under Immunofluorescence under
Electron microscopy
(2) Non—MCN: <20%
Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN):
about 10%, Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS): 5%
Membranous Nephropathy (MN) : 2%
Membrane proliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) : 1%
12. pathophysiology
The Main Trigger Of primary Nephrotic Syndrome
and Fundamental and highly important change of
pathophysiology :-
Proteinuria
13. Pathophysiology-protenuria
Increase glomerular permeability for proteins due to
loss of negative charged glycoprotein
Degree of protineuria:-
Mild less than 0.5g/m2/day
Moderate 0.5 – 2g/m2/day
Severe more than 2g/m2/day
Type of proteinuria:-
A-Selective proteinuria: where proteins of low
molecular weight .such as albumin, are excreted more
readily than protein of HMW
B-Non selective :
LMW+HMW are lost in urine
15. Pathogenesis-Hyperlipidemia
Response to Hypoalbuminemia → reflex to liver --→
synthesis of generalize protein ( including
lipoprotein ) and lipid in the liver ,the lipoprotein
high molecular weight no loss in urine →
hyperlipidemia
Diminished catabolism of lipoprotein
16. Pathogenesis of edema
Reduction plasma colloid osmotic pressure↓
secondary to hypoalbuminemia Edema and
hypovolemia
Intravascular volume↓ antidiuretic hormone
(ADH ) and aldosterone(ALD) water and
sodium retention Edema
Intravascular volume↓ glomerular filtration rate
(GFR)↓ water and sodium retention Edema
17.
18. Clinical manifestation
1.Main manifestations:
Edema (varying degrees) is the common symptom
Local edema: edema in face , around eyes( Periorbital swelling) ,
in lower extremities.
Generalized edema (anasarca), edema in penis and scrotum.
2-Non-specific symptoms:
Fever,Fatigue and lethargy
loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting ,abdominal pain , diarrhea
body weight increase, urine output decrease
pleural effusion (respiratory distress)
Susceptible to infections
21. 4.Blood analysis
a. Hypoproteinemia(hypoalbuminemia) below 2.5g/dl
b. Serum albumin/globulin ratio is reversed
c. Hypogammaglobulinemia with increase in
lipoprotein(alpha2 and beta globulins)
d. Serum cholesterol and triglyceride level increases.
e. Hypomagnesemia
f. Increased BUN
g. Increased platelet count
5.USG abdomen
25. Additional objective include:
1. Prevention or treatment of acute infection.
2. Control of edema with diuretics such as frusemide and
spirinolactone
3. Good nutrition.-balanced diet rich in protein and sodium
and water intake is restricted
4. Readjustment of altered metabolic activities.
5. Children with severe symptoms and newly diagnosed cases
are hospitalised for assessment and observation for evidence
for infection, response to therapy and parental education.
26. GENERAL MEASURES
Diet
Corticosteroid therapy
Edema control
Albumin infusion
Immunosuppressive drugs
Renal transplantation
27. Alternative treatment
When can be used:
Steroid-dependent patients, frequent relapsers, and
steroid-resistant patients.
Cyclophosphamide Pulse steroids
Cyclosporin A
Tacrolimus
Microphenolate
28. Treatment in relapse of N S
Many children with nephrotic syndrome will
experience at least 1 relapse (3-4+proteinuria plus
edema).
Daily divided-dose prednisone at the doses noted
earlier (where he has the relapse) until the child enters
remission (urine trace or negative for protein for 3
consecutive days).
The prednisone dose is then changed to alternate-day
dosing and tapered over 1-2 month.
29. IMPORTANT ASPECT TO CONSIDER IS DAILY SERUM
ELECTROLYTES AND URINE PROTEIN
MONITORING.
31. Nursing management
A.Care during hospitalisation
Daily monitoring of intake and output,wt,vitalsigns .
Infants and neonates- diapers weight.
Examination of daily urine -protein, albumin, abdominal
girth, edema- degree or pitting, colour and texture of
skin,infection
B.Administer medications
C.Maintain fluid and electrolyte balance
D.Prevention of infection
E. Promote rest
F.Emotional support.
33. Dietry modification
One of the aims of nutritional management is to
replace as much of the protein loss in the urine by a
intake of good quality protein
Protein (1-2gm per kilogram body weight) should
given.
Sodium should be restricted to 500mg.
Water intake 24hr urine output + 500ml.
34. Nursing diagnosis
1.Fluid volume excess related to fluid accumulation in
tissues.
2.Impaired nutrition less than body requirement.
3.Impaired family process
4.Knowledge deficit
5.Self esteem
6.Risk for infection.
