Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling that my body isn't very comfortable. My body has appeared with many abnormalities, waking up very early, dry lips and tongue, and needing to urinate frequently at night, urgent urination, and a feeling of incomplete urination. I feel that my whole person has lost the ability to move. I read online that it might be nephrotic syndrome, but my best friend doesn't know how to confirm it. How can nephrotic syndrome be confirmed?Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by chronic recurrent proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, severe edema, and hyperlipidemia. Long-term medication is required, and regular monitoring of urine tests, renal function, blood lipids, etc., is necessary. Diuretics, corticosteroids, and anticoagulant drugs can be taken orally, and traditional Chinese medicine can also be combined for timely regulation and control. In cases of necessity, cytotoxic drugs such as cyclophosphamide and chlorambucil may be prescribed. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
