Heavy proteinuria (+++, 5 g/24 h, i.e. >3.5 g), low plasma albumin and oedema with normal creatinine = nephrotic syndrome.
- Nephritic syndrome has proteinuria <3.5 g/day with hematuria/RBC casts, hypertension and renal impairment.
- Heart failure and myxoedema do not cause nephrotic-range proteinuria.
