Can Nephrotic Syndrome Cause Anemia
Can Nephrotic Syndrome cause anemia? Although NS doesn’t cause anemia frequently, some patients with Nephrotic Syndrome indeed have anemia along with proteinuria and swelling. Here, let’s learn more about Nephrotic Syndrome and anemia.
Nephrotic Syndrome is commonly seen in children or youngsters. Most often, they don’t present anemia symptoms. However, once anemia occurs, it is more likely to reflect the aggravation of Nephrotic Syndrome.

On the other hand, kidney function level is affected by Nephrotic Syndrome that leads kidneys to secrete less and less EPO. As time goes on, Nephrotic Syndrome patients’ anemia becomes more and more severe.
Since the onset and aggravation of anemia is attributed to kidney problems, our anemia treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome patients should begin from solving kidney problems. To ease protein leakage, patients are usually recommended to take steroids, because it can help prevent protein from going through the glomerular filtration membrane. However, it is unable to repair damaged kidneys. What’s worse, it causes a series of side effects such as growth problem, infection, moon face, etc easily.

Just because of these benefits, this therapy can help repair glomerular filtration membrane and reverse kidney damage effectively.
