Patient's question:
Hello, my youngest son is 12 years old. He was recently told that he has nephrotic syndrome, and he has been experiencing swelling lately. What should we do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is already quite challenging for a child to suffer from nephrotic syndrome. However, it is still recommended to hospitalized for standardized treatment. As long as the correct treatment plan is found and the treatment is conducted at the root cause, clinical cure can be achieved. The concern is that treatment may only focus on symptomatic relief. Currently, it is advised to improve the filtration function of the kidney's intrinsic cells while lowering indicators for symptomatic treatment, thereby controlling the progression of the disease from a pathological perspective. Repairing the functional cells of the kidneys can lead to a cure.
