The patient's presentation of a puffy face (facial edema) and swollen ankles (peripheral edema), along with markedly raised protein levels in the urine (proteinuria), are classic symptoms of nephrotic syndrome. This condition occurs when the kidney's filtering units (glomeruli) are damaged, allowing excessive protein to leak from the blood into the urine, which in turn causes fluid retention and swelling in the body.

This helps in planning the surgical approach for extraction and predicting potential complications.
