Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The clinical manifestations of minimal change nephrotic syndrome include massive proteinuria (excessive loss of protein in the urine), hypoalbuminemia (low levels of albumin in the blood), and edema (swelling caused by fluid accumulation). Hematuria (blood in the urine), bacteriuria (bacteria in the urine), and fever are not typically associated with this condition. Gross hematuria (visible blood in the urine) may be present in other types of kidney disease, but not minimal change nephrotic syndrome. Hypertension (high blood pressure) and weight loss are also not typical manifestations of this condition.
