Patient's question:
Before the onset of the illness, the mental state was good. One week prior, there were symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. On the evening of January 1st, lower limb edema became apparent. By the morning of the second day, significant edema was observed in the upper limbs and face. Upon hospitalization, the urine test showed three plus signs for proteinuria, with hemoglobin at 106 g/L, and the rest were normal.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello: Generally speaking, one does not suddenly develop nephrotic syndrome! It should be due to long-term conditions like hypertensive nephropathy, diabetic nephropathy, chronic nephritis, etc., that have not been effectively treated for a long time, which can then lead to nephrotic syndrome.Suggestions: The diagnostic criteria for nephrotic syndrome are: 24-hour urine protein greater than 3.5 grams; plasma albumin level below 30 grams per liter. I don’t know if you have undergone these two tests yet? This condition is usually treated primarily with hormones, and it is very difficult to cure! I recommend that you go to a regular hospital for testing to confirm whether the diagnosis is indeed this disease, and then choose an appropriate treatment plan!
Doctor’s inquiry: Did you understand? Do you have any further questions?
