Patient's question:
A friend of mine has nephrotic syndrome and now has swelling. Is this condition treated with long-term medication? It's getting serious now, and I want to go to the hospital. How can I reduce it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your friend's current edema is caused by poor blood circulation in the body or impaired water excretion function of the kidneys. Suggestions: It is recommended that your friend go to the hospital for a check-up to determine if the edema is due to impaired kidney function and reduced water excretion. It is also advisable to engage in appropriate physical activity to speed up blood circulation in the body, which can help reduce edema. It is best not to drink too much water before going to bed at night. During the day, it is appropriate to drink some water, but it must be done in moderation. Otherwise, if it is not absorbed, it may cause edema. Doctor's inquiry:
