Patient's question:
My husband went to the toilet more frequently than usual a few weeks ago, and he also always felt a sore lower back. After a thorough examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. I would like to ask, what causes nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome is not an inflammation of the nervous system, but rather a kidney-related issue, particularly the recurrence of edema, high blood pressure, hypoproteinemia, and hyperlipidemia. The primary cause of these typical symptoms is the damage to the kidneys. From a clinical diagnostic perspective, corticosteroids are used for control, and rest is recommended as additional support. Theoretically, kidney disease can also be triggered by upper respiratory infections.
