Nephrotic Syndrome Bailey's Story.wmv

This is a video about our son who has Nephrotic Syndrome,NS is a condition that is often caused by any of a group of diseases (but is not a disease in its self) that damages the tiny blood filtering units (glomeruli) in the kidneys,the kidneys clean the blood by filtering out excess water salt and waste products from food ,healthy kidneys keep protein in the blood,with NS it goes in to the wee and body tissue, our aim is To raise awareness of Nephoritc Syndrome in Children. Most people have two kidneys. The kidneys main function is to clean the blood, getting rid of waste products and excess water. Blood filters through the kidneys, which act like a sieve, allowing waste products and excess water to be excreted as urine, but prevents loss of essential blood components such as protein and blood cells. In healthy kidneys this process controls the bodys water and salt balance and regulates blood pressure. In childhood nephrotic syndrome there is a problem affecting the sieve mechanism of the kidney. The holes of the sieve enlarge, allowing large amounts of protein to be lost from the body in the urine (proteinuria). ·٠•●♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥●•٠·˙ ★THERE IS NO CURE YET KNOWN THIS CAN GO AS THE CHILD GETS OLDER BUT CAN ALSO DEVELOP INTO KIDNEY FAILURE MEANING DIALYSIS OR TRANSPLANT THAT MAY NOT EVEN WORK AS NS CAN THEN DEVELOP IN THE TRANSPLANTED KIDNEY ASWELL.
