nephrotic syndrome, symptoms would be JVD due to hypervolemia secondary to protein loss which decreased his colloid oncotic pressure and also precipitated him to acquire edema, protiein was lost due to damaged glomerolus and caused it to hyperfiltrate leading to less reabsorption of protein, protein went down together with the metabolic wastes and was excreted via micturition
pericardial effusion might also be present due to the congestion of particles in the blood vessels.
