Nephrotic syndrome can be difficult to detect early, but here are two common signs to watch for. These symptoms can be subtle at first. Raising awareness helps families and clinicians catch it early and take action.

The line between MCD and FSGS isn’t always obvious. Both can cause nephrotic syndrome, but the body’s response to steroid treatment helps tell them apart. This is why treatment response and sometimes biopsy results are so important.

Meet Anthea, one of our amazing summer interns at the Sampson Lab!

This summer, she is helping support our research on nephrotic syndrome, bringing fresh perspective, curiosity, and a whole lot of energy to the team. 🧬✨ #InternSpotlight #SampsonLab #SummerInternship

Your kidneys filter 50 gallons of blood every single day. Drinking enough water helps support kidney function and reduce the risk of kidney stones and other complications. So yes, staying hydrated? It’s a love letter to your kidneys.#sampsonlab #kidneyhelalth #nephrology

Our summer interns are finishing up at the end of July, and it's been great having them around the lab. From helping with current projects to fostering new collaborations, they've been a big part of the team these past few months. We'll miss having them around! #internship #summerintern #sampsonlab

What is nephrotic syndrome, and what’s actually causing it? Nephrotic syndrome isn’t one disease; it’s a group of symptoms caused by damage to the kidney’s filters. Follow along as we break down the most common root causes of nephrotic syndrome one post at a time. #nephroticsyndrome #sampsonlab

We are back with the Sampson Lab Dictionary! Today, we are covering gene expression

The process of turning genetic information into action. 🧬 Basically, it is how your cells decide which instructions to use, when to use them, and how much of a protein or RNA product to make.

Today’s Sampson Lab Dictionary word: glomerulus — a tiny but powerful filter inside the kidney that helps clean the blood and start the process of making urine.

Small structure, big job.
