<prompt> All of the following are decreased in nephrotic syndrome, except-Serum transferrinSerum fibrinogenSerum ceruloplasminSerum albumin  <response>: Ans. is b i.e., Serum Fibrinogen Fibrinogen level is increased in nephrotic syndrome dt increased hepatic synthesis of fibrinogen. o The largest propoion of protein lost in urine is albumin. o Sometimes, globulins can also be excreted -4 Immunoglobulin excretion increases the susceptibility of infection. o Other proteins which are decreased - Transferrin --- Microcytic hypochromic anemia. Cholecalciferol binding protein -- hypocalcemia Thyroxine binding globulin -- decreased thyroxine level. Antithrombin III -- hypercoagulability Ceruloplasmin
