hi
your father needs to be worked up for the cause of nephrotic syndrome.
He requires to undergo tests like RFT, Sonography, Urine protein quantitation, detailed urine analysis, some special tests may also be required which may include renal biopsy.
Also malignancy needs to be ruled out.
Plz consult a nephrologist.
Thanks
