Patient's question:
Doctor, I just looked at my husband's health check report. It says nephrotic syndrome is nephritis?Doctor's answer:
The so-called nephrotic syndrome primarily affects the glomeruli, leading to symptoms such as significant proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, hyperlipidemia, and more. It is usually acquired from nephritis expansion. Nephrotic syndrome also requires further careful examination to determine whether it is primary or secondary. Additionally, strict adherence to medical advice is necessary, including the use of antibiotics to prevent inflammatory infections, to avoid exacerbating kidney toxicity after infection. This is especially important when taking medications or dealing with colds, as these conditions can easily worsen.
