If you are like a lot of people there’s a chance you’ve never heard of Nephrotic Syndrome. It’s also possible you are now reading this because you’ve only recently been diagnosed or have a loved one who been diagnosed with this condition. I know I’m still trying to sort out not just the different diseases that result in NS, but why they are such a common cause of kidney failure. There’s a lot to learn here.

This video, a webinar from 2017 hosted by Nephcure Kidney International is a great introduction to NS by Dr. Mindy Banks. It runs for just under an hour and I recommend carving out some time watch her presentation as she does a good job of covering a lot of ground not just for relative newcomers like myself, but she also answers some questions for patients and parents who have already been struggling with this condition.

Are you new to Nephrotic Syndrome? How has it impacted your life?
