Patient's question:
I am about to get married, but I have discovered that I have nephrotic syndrome. Will this affect the next generation?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a timely check-up to determine the type of nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome is a syndrome caused by increased permeability of the glomerular filtration membrane, leading to the loss of a large amount of plasma protein in the urine. Hereditary nephrotic syndrome usually has no obvious symptoms at onset. In children, it is often only detected through urine tests with mild proteinuria and hematuria, which can worsen after intense exercise or upper respiratory infections.
