Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Oedema is the commonest presenting symptom and sign in nephrotic syndrome. Hypercholesterolaemia, thromboembolic events, and infectious complications may also be features. Three patients are described, each of whose nephrotic syndrome presented with a less common symptom or sign--recurrent pleural effusion, hypercholesterolaemia and oedema, pulmonary embolism--and, as a result, experienced some diagnostic delay. By forgetting to consider nephrotic syndrome, and its underlying causes, there may be inappropriate investigations and treatment for the patient. |
