Yes I know it does mildly, but I am confused as to why in nephrotic syndrome there is much more severe proteinuria, yet not hematuria. Hematuria requires a greater permeability of the glomerulus than proteinuria, so intuitively I would think that hematuria would necessitate proteinuria. Can someone clarify why this is not the case?
