There are several potential causes of relapse in nephrotic syndrome, including:
1. Inadequate initial treatment: If the initial treatment for nephrotic syndrome was not effective or if the patient did not adhere to the treatment plan, this can lead to a relapse.
2. Infections: Infections, particularly upper respiratory infections, can trigger a relapse in nephrotic syndrome.
3. Medication non-compliance: If a patient does not take their medications as prescribed, this can lead to a relapse of nephrotic syndrome.
4. Changes in medication: Sometimes changes in medication or dosage can trigger a relapse in nephrotic syndrome.
5. Allergies: Allergic reactions to medications or other substances can also trigger a relapse in nephrotic syndrome.
6. Stress: Emotional or physical stress can weaken the immune system and trigger a relapse in nephrotic syndrome.
7. Underlying kidney disease: If there is an underlying kidney disease causing the nephrotic syndrome, this can also lead to relapses.

- Recrudescence: Reactivation of the original disease process that caused the nephrotic syndrome. - Non-adherence to therapy: Failure to take medications as prescribed or to follow dietary restrictions. - Infection: Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can trigger a relapse. - Immunological disorders: Conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis can cause relapses. - Hemodynamic factors: Changes in blood pressure or blood volume can affect the glomerular filtration rate and lead to a relapse. - Metabolic disorders: Conditions such as diabetes or hyperlipidemia can contribute to relapses. - Certain medications: Some medications, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or ACE inhibitors, can trigger relapses in some individuals.
