The present invention belongs to the technical field of screening and identification of nephrotic syndrome markers, and provides nephrotic syndrome progression-related metabolic markers and application thereof. Bis(4-ethylbenzyl)sorbitol, C16 d-sphinganine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) (22:6), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) (22:5), N-ethanolamine and proline are taken as progressive markers; oleic acid amide, docosahexaenoic acid, 14S-hydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, uric acid, and LPC (20:5) and (18:1) are taken as early markers; and acylcarnitine (C18:0), linoleic acid carnitine, LPC (18:3), DL-tryptophan, indoleacrylic acid, p-cresol sulfate, 3-indol sulfate, cytosine, creatinine, sphingosine-1-phosphoric acid, L-aleuritic-dihydrosphingosine and ceramide (d18:0 / 14:0) are taken as late markers. The nephrotic syndrome progression-related metabolic markers provided by the present invention can be quantified, are fast, and have high sensitivity and strong specificity.
