Nephrotic Sydnrome is a condition of the kidneys which causes a loss of protein.
This leads to a decrease of protein in the blood as too much escapes through urination.
Someone with the condition can lose up to 25 times more protein through urination in a 24-hour period than someone without it.
Symptoms include fatigue, fluid retention or swelling, stomach pain, dizziness and a range of other ailments.
It can lead to blood clots, infections and kidney failure.
Treatments include medications, change in diet, or in more extreme cases like Jonah Lumo's, kidney transplants.
