RE: Differentiating Nephrotic Syndrome and Nephritic Syndrome
Can a Physicisn damage the glomerulus while performing an operation? A few years back i was diagnosed with cushings syndrome. The tumor was in my right adrenal gland. They removed the whole adrenal gland. I was cured of the cushing syndrome but sometimes now my urine is quite frothy and especially in summer i get water retention in my feet. Do you think it would be wise for me to go back to my endochronologist?
the kindeys are covered by capsule and perinephric fat. Glomerulus are deep inside to these structures. Performed correctly,shouldnt be a problem. Fact: A human can still function normally without one kidney and the other working at 1/3rd its capacity.
There is always a risk of slight injury, but not to a very severe extent. But if you're having significant frothy urine and water retention regularly, you should see a nephrologist. And yes, you should also see your endocrinologist for a follow up visit.
I wish you stay healthy and strong :)
