Patient's question:
The patient recently feels generally unwell. What should be done for children with primary nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
If it is primary nephrotic syndrome in children, it may be hereditary nephrotic syndrome. Most cases are of the minimal change type, and treatment involves the use of corticosteroid drugs. Additionally, medications to protect and support kidney function are required. Otherwise, kidney function abnormalities may occur. If proteinuria or hypoalbuminemia reappears during the course of the disease, immunoglobulin therapy may be necessary to boost the body's immunity. The ultimate outcome of this condition can lead to kidney failure.
