Urinalysis reveals 4+ proteinuria without hematuria or casts. Laboratory studies show serum albumin 1.9 g/dL, total cholesterol 380 mg/dL, and serum creatinine 0.9 mg/dL. She denies recent infections or medication use. Which renal syndrome best explains these clinical and laboratory findings?

  1. A)Nephritic syndrome with active urinary sediment
  2. B)Renal tubular acidosis
  3. C)Acute tubular necrosis
  4. D)Prerenal azotemia
  5. E)Nephrotic syndrome with heavy protein lossGABARITO
