Here I want to describes a basic thing about Nephrotic Syndrome:

Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that causes your body to excrete too much protein in your urine. Nephrotic syndrome is usually caused by damage to the clusters of small blood vessels in your kidneys that filter waste and excess water from your blood. Nephrotic syndrome causes swelling (edema), particularly in your feet and ankles, and increases the risk of other health problems.

1) Swelling (edema). It may occur: 

      - In the face and around the eyes (facial swelling)

      - In the arms and legs, especially in the feet and ankle

      - In the belly area (swollen abdomen)

2) Foamy appearance of the urine

3) Poor appetite
