Patient's question:
Doctor, a few days ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. I'm a bit reluctant to believe that I would suddenly get this disease, as my health was quite good before, and I hadn't experienced any problems again. I would like to ask the doctor if nephrotic syndrome is serious?Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome is relatively serious because this disease still has the characteristics of a chronic condition. If it cannot achieve good and thorough recovery for a long time, it can easily lead to gradual kidney function failure. In severe cases, it may also cause the recurrence of conditions like uremia. Therefore, it is necessary to start treatment as early as possible. The main methods include the use of hormone therapy or the combination of traditional Chinese medicine therapies for joint treatment.
