Patient's question:
Brother recently underwent a thorough health check-up at school and was found to have quite severe kidney problems. He is now hospitalized for treatment, but the results have not been very encouraging. The doctor has issued several critical condition notices. Our whole family is very worried. It's not a good idea to keep taking medicine like this. What should one eat or do for Nephrotic Syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Problem: Nephrotic syndrome generally requires a low-salt, high-quality protein diet, which means eating less salt and fewer soy products, but more fish, beef, lamb, and other high-quality protein foods. In the recent period, attention should be paid to rest and consider using many Losartan and Scutellariae Capsules, etc. If edema is severe, consider using many Furosemide, Spironolactone, etc., to treat edema with diuretic therapy.It is not scientific to say that kidney patients should not eat meat, eggs, and scaleless fish. On the contrary, these patients should eat more protein, especially foods rich in high-quality protein such as milk, eggs, lean meat, chicken, and fish. There is no restriction on protein intake. Long-term excessive protein intake is not only beneficial but also increases kidney pressure, leading to kidney damage.
