How do I treat nephrotic syndrome?

Patient's question:

I recently noticed that my kidneys seem to have some problems, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told me that I have nephrotic syndrome, which really surprised and worried me, because kidney disease has always been difficult to treat. Hello, I have nephrotic syndrome. How is kidney disease treated?

Doctor's answer:

If nephrotic syndrome has already been diagnosed, this condition typically requires long-term oral medication to maintain. It is generally well-controlled, but it is recommended to undergo kidney biopsy before diagnosis to clarify the pathological type. After that, active monitoring through examinations should yield better results. The treatment is primarily achieved through long-term oral corticosteroid medications to re-regulate and control the progression of the disease. The therapeutic effect is generally very good.
