As all of us are well aware that our kidneys are incriminated in the percolation process as well as elimination of the byproducts ( secondary or incidental products )from the body; so some level of overexertion and pressure is incurred on them, by administration of steroids, on account of the fact that the latter are excreted in urine.

Nephrotic syndrome is a disease of the kidneys, which comprises a triad of:
 Proteinuria
 Hypoalbuminemia (As a result of injury to the percolating system of the kidneys, the albumin seeps out of the capillaries all over the body and settles into the surrounding tissue, causing edema. The level of albumin in the blood drops)
 Edema.

Amphotericin B is an antifungal drug, used for the treatment of fungal infections. Its antifungal effect is on account of disruption of fungal cell wall synthesis, due to its ability to bind to sterols.
Oral preparations of Amphotericin B are used to treat thrush (an infection of the mouth as well as vagina, caused by the yeast referred to as Candida fungus); Nappy rash in babes is also caused by the same fungus.

Kidney stones, also known as renal calculi or nephrolithiasis, are of four types:
o Calcium stones:
o These are the most typical stones. The calcium which is not consumed by the bones and the muscles merges with oxalate and phosphate to form calcium oxalate stones and calcium phosphate stones respectively.

Proteins are macronutrients (any of the chemical elements) the building blocks of which are the amino acids. The latter are a large group of organic acids, that contain a carboxyl group and an amino group; they are necessary for all life and are water-soluble and crystalline. The amino acids are of two types:

It is to be noted, that in a healthy individual, the portal vein, conveys the nitrogen containing compounds from the intestine, to the liver where eighty to ninety percent of it is metabolized through the urea cycle and is excreted instantaneously. The function of liver is to store glycogen (a polysaccharide) decompose RBCs, manufacture plasma proteins, produce hormones and play a significant role in detoxification (removal of poisonous substances from the body) side by side with the kidneys.. However in case of hepatic encephalopathy, this process is impaired.
