What Causes Nephrotic Syndrome In Baby?
hi, my 18 months old baby girl just got nephrotic syndrome. She never had this symtom before. It happened during she had craynosynostosis surgery and we did not notice it by thinking that the swollen all over her body is from the surgery. Later, we found out that she is suffering from nephrotic syndarome. i want to know, did the stress of surgery caused nephrotic syndrome or there is any other reason that caused it.
