Nutrition for Podocyte Repair in Nephrotic Syndrome?

Roberto Aquilani et al. Nutrients. .

Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) poses a number of nutritional and metabolic problems due to glomerulus injured podocytes, which are responsible for the loss of barrier function, causing proteinuria, altered fluid and electrolyte balances, and hypoalbuminemia [...].
