Patient's question:
Doctor, I'd like to ask what are the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome? Because I'm only 24 years old and still young, but recently I've been feeling tired and having lower back pain, and my lower limbs are also swollen. I suspect there might be a problem with my kidneys, and I'm very worried. I hope the doctor can help me.Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome primarily manifests as systemic edema, decreased blood pressure, reduced lipid levels in blood tests, decreased human serum albumin, and decreased albumin in urine tests. If there is only unilateral lower limb edema and a sense of discomfort in the waist, I would definitely consider it a neurological syndrome. It is generally recommended to undergo urine routine tests, renal function tests, and human serum albumin level tests at the hospital to help confirm the diagnosis.
