Solution

The condition that causes massive proteinuria among the options provided is Nephrotic syndrome.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Proteinuria, which is an excess of protein in the urine, is often a symptom of kidney damage.

  2. Chronic kidney disease can cause proteinuria, but it's usually not massive.

  3. Nephritic syndrome can also cause proteinuria, but again, it's usually not massive.

  4. Nephrotic syndrome, on the other hand, is characterized by massive proteinuria. This is because the damage to the glomeruli (the kidney's filtering units) in nephrotic syndrome is so severe that a large amount of protein ends up in the urine.

  5. Acute kidney injury can cause a range of urinary symptoms, but massive proteinuria is not typically one of them.

So, the answer is c. Nephrotic syndrome.
