According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the physical status of a patient with mild systemic disease that limits activity but is not incapacitating may be classified as ASA II.

Nephrotic syndrome is associated with hyperlipidemia, particularly increased levels of LDL and cholesterol. The underlying mechanism involves the loss of albumin in the urine, which leads to hypoalbuminemia. This causes an increased synthesis of very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) by the liver to compensate for the loss of oncotic pressure. Additionally, the loss of proteins that normally bind to cholesterol in the blood, such as lipoproteins, results in decreased clearance of LDL.
