Patient's question:

What is the reason for high blood pressure in nephrotic syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Nephrotic syndrome is a pathological physiological state caused by damage to the glomerular basement membrane, increased permeability, leading to kidney pathological damage and the loss of plasma protein in the urine. Its characteristics include: massive proteinuria, severe edema, hyperlipidemia, and hypoproteinemia. In treatment, it is not advisable to solely address symptoms and block protein; the focus should be on repairing the kidney's pathological damage, allowing protein to naturally normalize, and avoiding progression to kidney insufficiency or uremia.
