All of the following are decreased in nephrotic syndrome, except –

Fibrinogen level is increased in nephrotic syndrome d/t increased hepatic synthesis of fibrinogen. The largest proportion of protein lost in urine is albumin. Sometimes, globulins can also be excreted → Immunoglobulin excretion increases the susceptibility of infection. Other proteins which are decreased - Transferrin → Microcytic hypochromic anemia Cholecalciferol binding protein → hypocalcaemia Thyroxine-binding globulin → Decreased thyroxin level Antithrombin III → Hypercoagulability Ceruloplasmin
