Patient's question:
How is nephrotic syndrome treated? Is there any method that causes less damage to the body?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, nephrotic syndrome is most characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema.Advice: I suggest you:
1. Nephrotic syndrome occurs because functional cells in the kidneys are subjected to long-term ischemia and hypoxia, leading to damage due to overwork. The glomerular basement membrane's filtration pores enlarge, causing substances like proteins and red blood cells to leak into the urine. This manifests externally as symptoms like proteinuria and hematuria.
2. Only by identifying and addressing the root cause of nephrotic syndrome and its symptom onset with targeted treatment can protein and hematuria leakage be effectively controlled, and the condition can gradually improve.
3. Medication selection should prioritize options with minimal kidney damage, such as the combined use of clinical hormones and immunosuppressants.
I hope my answer is helpful to you.
