In patients with Nephrotic Syndrome, they have hypoalbuminemia and that causes edema. They need protein and albumin because they loose lot of protein in the urine.
Post Streptococcal GN: this patient has no physical abnormalities except BUN=50. High protein makes renal failure worse. Low protein diet helps. Looks like she has Only RBC casts and minimal proteinuria.
Plead correct me if I am wrong.
