Question

"Nephrotic syndrome is associated with all of the following clinical findings except:

A. Proteinuria (loss of protein in urine).
B. Hypoalbuminemia (low levels of albumin in the blood).
C. Edema (swelling).
D. Hypertension (high blood pressure)."

Answer 1

Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema. However, hypertension is not a typical clinical finding in nephrotic syndrome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nephrotic syndrome is associated with a group of clinical findings including proteinuria (loss of protein in urine), hypoalbuminemia (low levels of albumin in the blood), and edema (swelling). However, it is not typically associated with hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is more commonly associated with another kidney disorder called glomerulonephritis.
