Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent urination with mild pain when urinating recently. I also had symptoms of general discomfort, dizziness, fatigue, and lower back and sacral soreness. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the results showed nephrotic syndrome. What is nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
The ability of glomerular filtration in patients with nephrotic syndrome is more severe than that of normal people, leading to an increasing amount of protein components being excreted in the urine. As a result, the protein in the human blood will gradually decrease, making it unable to supply the body with normal growth. This may lead to kidney failure in patients, and their body's resistance will be reduced, making it easier for them to suffer from other chronic diseases. Therefore, the harm of nephrotic syndrome is such that when patients experience common symptoms of this disease again, they must be examined promptly to prevent the condition from worsening.
