Patient's question:
During this period, my body hasn't been feeling quite right, and I keep getting headaches. So, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the results showed that I have nephrotic syndrome. Why do you think I got nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome is a condition caused by increased permeability of the glomerular basement membrane, leading to symptoms such as significant proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia in patients. Various underlying causes can trigger nephrotic syndrome, such as chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, renal artery sclerosis, and other diseases. Additionally, conditions like renal tuberculosis, polycystic kidney disease, urinary tract stones, intestinal obstruction, and tumors can also lead to the recurrence of nephrotic syndrome.
