What is the correct way to care for nephrotic syndrome?

Patient's question:

Always uncomfortable, feeling bad, can't sleep. What is the correct way to care for nephrotic syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, patients with nephrotic syndrome may experience recurrent edema, large amounts of proteinuria, hyperlipidemia, and hypoproteinemia. The patients should rest in bed, but appropriate limb exercises are still necessary to prevent thrombosis. At the same time, it is important to interfere with water and sodium absorption to prevent edema from worsening. A high-quality, low-protein diet is recommended, with a protein intake of about 0.8g/kg/day. The diet should be light and avoid greasy foods to help alleviate hyperlipidemia.
