OpenStudy (anonymous):
Proteinuria - Lot of albumin is lost in urine in Nephrotic Syndrome. Albumin is an important component of blood which maintains capillary hydrostatic-osmotic pressure balance. This is disrupted in Nephrotic Syndrome as lot of protein is lost in urine. This causes water to move into tissues and produce edema.
