Key points

  • Nephrotic syndrome is often first diagnosed in children between one and six years old, though it can affect people of any age.
  • Protein loss through the kidneys can affect the body’s ability to fight infections, since proteins that normally help protect against germs are lost.

These reduce immune system activity, which can help the kidneys recover in nephrotic syndrome.
