What is nephrotic syndrome and how serious is it?

Patient's question:

Age is a bit swollen hands and feet. November 25th, the reason is unclear.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disease characterized by large amounts of proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. It is primarily caused by kidney damage and the failure of the glomerular filtration membrane to repair. During the nephrotic syndrome stage, which is still an inflammatory response phase of the kidneys, if the condition is not promptly controlled, it may eventually lead to abnormal kidney function, which can affect the child's future growth and development.
Recommendations: The child's condition cannot be treated solely with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or Western medicine. It is recommended to adopt a standardized and systematic integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment plan. While Western medicine addresses symptoms, traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicine should be used to repair the damaged glomerular filtration membrane from the root. Once the kidneys are fully repaired, and all test results return to normal, the condition will achieve clinical remission, preventing recurrence. This will have no impact on the child's future growth and development.
Lifestyle and dietary advice: It is recommended that you ensure your child gets adequate rest, avoids overexertion, and takes precautions to prevent colds. The diet should be low in salt, low in fat, low in protein, and primarily consist of light,. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
