Patient's question:
The son has always been in good health, but recently he has been experiencing swelling. He has tried many methods, but none have provided a cure. A few days ago, I took him to a nearby hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said that my son has nephrotic syndrome. I had no ideal about nephrotic syndrome before and didn't know the cause of it. How did the infant nephrotic syndrome come about?Doctor's answer:
Nephritis is often caused by the deposition of autoimmune complexes in the glomeruli, leading to hypoalbuminemia, high blood pressure, and edema in children with kidney disease. The nephritis in these children is mostly of the microscopic inflammation type. This type of nephritis is relatively sensitive to hormone treatment but prone to relapse. Generally, hormones should be used for rescue treatment until the condition stabilizes and urine protein becomes negative. Hormone dosage should be gradually increased.Maintain a regular lifestyle, get sufficient deep sleep, balance work and rest, and pay attention to appropriate temperature and humidity. Be cautious of cold exposure during cold seasons. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
