Can one still drink alcohol after suffering from nephrotic syndrome?

Patient's question:

Hello, my uncle is 55 years old this year. He usually likes to drink a little alcohol, but recently he was found to have nephrotic syndrome. I wonder if he can still drink alcohol in this condition?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Nephrotic syndrome is a common type of kidney disease, and it is generally not recommended to drink alcohol because it can cause blood pressure to rise and damage kidney health. At the same time, your uncle should also pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion. Proper exercise is recommended, and in terms of diet, salt intake should be limited while ensuring adequate intake of high-quality protein and various vitamins. Stimulating foods, such as spicy ones, should be avoided, and maintaining a positive mindset is important.
