Nephrotic Syndrome Treatment Market

Nephrotic Syndrome is a clinical syndrome defined by massive proteinuria responsible for hypoalbuminemia, with resulting hyperlipidemia, edema, and various complications of Nephrotic Syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome may stem from diverse underlying factors, encompassing conditions like minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, lupus nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, infections, genetic disorders, specific medications, and more. Prolonged nephrotic syndrome can result in complications of Nephrotic Syndrome such as infections, malnutrition, and an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. Consequently, accurately pinpointing the precise cause is imperative for effective treatment and comprehensive management.

From a pathological standpoint, nephrotic syndrome entails changes in the structure and function of the glomeruli, which are the small filtration units in the kidneys tasked with eliminating waste and surplus fluids from the blood. The key characteristics of nephrotic syndrome involve heightened permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier, leading to the excretion of proteins, notably albumin, in the urine.

Nephrotic Syndrome Diagnosis

The diagnostic process for nephrotic syndrome encompasses a clinical assessment, blood examinations to evaluate serum albumin and lipid concentrations, urine analyses to detect proteinuria and imaging modalities such as ultrasound. Additionally, a kidney biopsy may be undertaken to pinpoint the root cause, aiding in informed treatment choices. This comprehensive approach ensures a thorough understanding of the condition's nuances, facilitating precise diagnosis and tailored interventions.

Nephrotic Syndrome Treatment

The Nephrotic Syndrome treatment involves addressing the fundamental cause and implementing measures to mitigate elevated blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, edema, and infection susceptibility. Therapeutic interventions typically comprise medications and dietary modifications. Certain antihypertensive Nephrotic Syndrome Drugs, specifically ACE inhibitors and ARBs, exhibit the potential to decelerate kidney diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome.

Nephrotic Syndrome Epidemiology

As the market is derived using the patient-based model, the Nephrotic Syndrome epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total Nephrotic Syndrome Diagnosed Prevalent Cases and Nephrotic Syndrome Type-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases, in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan, from 2020 to 2034.

• As per DelveInsight’s estimations, the total Nephrotic Syndrome diagnosed prevalent cases in the 7MM were approximately 786k in 2022 and are projected to increase during the forecast period.
• The overall count of individuals diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome in the United States was approximately 268k in 2022, and it is expected to increase at an estimated CAGR throughout the study period (2020–2034).
• Among the 7MM, the US accounted for nearly 214k cases of Primary Glomerulonephropathies, and 54k cases of Secondary Glomerulonephropathies. These cases are expected to increase during the forecast period (2023–2034).
• Among EU4 and the UK, Germany had the highest Nephrotic Syndrome diagnosed prevalent population, with about 98k cases, followed by the UK and France in 2022. On the other hand, Spain had the lowest diagnosed prevalent population in EU4 and the UK in 2022.
• In Japan, there were around 151k Nephrotic Syndrome diagnosed prevalent cases in 2022. These cases are expected to decrease by 2032.

Recent Developmental Activities in the Nephrotic Syndrome Market

• In September 2025, Aptar Pharma announced that its Unidose Liquid System has been selected as the delivery platform for Enbumyst (Bumetanide Nasal Spray) 0.5mg, recently approved by the FDA.

Nephrotic Syndrome Emerging Drugs

• Atacicept: Vera Therapeutics

Atacicept developed by Vera Therapeutics, is an investigational recombinant fusion protein that contains the soluble transmembrane activator and calcium-modulating cyclophilin ligand interactor (TACI) receptor that binds to the cytokines B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL). These cytokines are members of the tumor necrosis factor family that promote B-cell survival and autoantibody production associated with certain autoimmune diseases, including IgA nephropathy and lupus nephritis.

• Atrasentan: Chinook Therapeutics/ Novartis

Atrasentan is an oral potent and selective endothelin A (ETA) receptor antagonist, which works by inhibiting the ETA receptor activation of multiple renal cell types. This blockade reduces kidney inflammation and fibrosis, thus leading to reduced proteinuria in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Nephrotic Syndrome Market Outlook

Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of symptoms that signal impaired kidney function. These symptoms encompass proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, hyperlipidemia, and various other associated complications of Nephrotic Syndrome. The management of nephrotic syndrome entails addressing underlying medical conditions contributing to its onset. Healthcare professionals may prescribe medications and dietary modifications to regulate symptoms and address complications of nephrotic syndrome.

Currently, there are no authorized therapies specifically designed for treating nephrotic syndrome, and the predominant Nephrotic Syndrome treatment strategies often involve off-label approaches. Corticosteroids like prednisone, cyclophosphamide, and cyclosporine are employed to induce remission in nephrotic syndrome. Diuretics are utilized to alleviate edema, while angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers are employed to diminish proteinuria.

Progress in the Nephrotic Syndrome treatment has transformed patient care, integrating lifestyle modifications, medications, and procedures. Emerging therapies, including monoclonal antibodies and antagonists targeting APRIL and BAFF, among others, hold the potential for improving patient outcomes. Continuous research and ongoing Nephrotic Syndrome clinical trials are shaping a promising future for nephrotic syndrome treatment, providing optimism for a world with decreased morbidity and mortality.
