Patient's question:
What's wrong with the little one? The urine is yellow, and there is edema. Swelling in hands, feet, limbs, and face. Pale and thin. Visited many doctors but none could diagnose it. Until finally, at Beijing 303 Hospital, the conclusion was that it was congenital nephrotic syndrome in children.Doctor's answer:
The main drugs for the treatment of proteinuria are corticosteroids (prednisone, prednisolone, etc.) and cytotoxic agents (cyclophosphamide) or immunosuppressants (cyclosporine A, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, leflunomide, etc.). Other possible measures to reduce urinary protein include traditional Chinese medicine Tripterygium wilfordii and immunostimulants.
