What is nephrotic syndrome?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to ask, what is nephrotic syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, nephrotic syndrome is a disease caused by various different reasons leading to increased permeability of kidney blood vessels, with hyperlipidemia, proteinuria, and edema as the main clinical manifestations. Treatment mainly involves bed rest, the use of diuretics such as furosemide or thiazide diuretics, active treatment of hypertension, and immunosuppressants to reduce kidney damage. The diet should be based on high-quality protein, and renal function should be regularly rechecked.
