Nephrotic Syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is defined by abnormal loss of protein through the kidneys into the urine (greater than 3.5 grams per day in adults and greater than 50 mg/kg per day in children), leading to low protein levels (albumin, in particular) in the blood.

Minimal Change Disease
In minimal change disease, the filters don’t function well because their structure is altered. As blood flows through the altered filters, large amounts of proteins can leak into the urine.

Membranous Nephropathy
Membranous nephropathy is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system targets and attacks the glomeruli. The glomeruli become leaky, leading to abnormal loss of protein in the urine (proteinuria) and a decrease in the ability of the kidneys to filter waste products and excess fluid from the blood.
