Patient's question:
I recently had a health check-up at my company, and the detailed examination revealed that I have nephrotic syndrome. I was quite puzzled because I usually take good care of myself and have a healthy lifestyle. So, how could I suddenly develop this condition? I'd like to ask, what are the possible causes of my disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the description, the patient is diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome is divided into secondary nephrotic syndrome and primary nephrotic syndrome. Common causes of secondary nephrotic syndrome include diabetic nephropathy, hepatitis B-related nephropathy, multiple myeloma, and allergic purpura, among others. If there are no secondary factors, primary nephrotic syndrome should be considered. Primary nephrotic syndrome is caused by immune dysfunction.
