Patient's question:
Friend's father is 53 years old this year, and his health has always been good. A few days ago, he went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said he suffered from nephrotic syndrome and advised him to seek timely treatment. However, his father has always restrained himself from going to the hospital for treatment. I would like to ask if there are any good dietary methods?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, nephrotic syndrome is usually characterized by edema in the lower limbs, sometimes accompanied by facial edema. If it reappears, it is recommended to avoid spicy and greasy foods, pay attention to rest, reduce stress, do not get too tense, eat light meals, avoid getting angry, catch colds, and maintain a positive mood. Oral corticosteroids, antihypertensive drugs, and lipid-lowering drugs can be taken to prevent excessive water intake; moderate water consumption is sufficient. It is advisable to eat mushrooms once or twice a week. Regular medication and follow-up tests should be taken as scheduled.
