Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing lower back pain and recurring hematuria for about a month. In the past few days, my condition has improved, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, they diagnosed me with nephrotic syndrome. I mainly want to consult about what dietary precautions are important for nephrotic syndrome. Please advise, doctor.Doctor's answer:
First, nephrotic syndrome is an autoimmune disease, with the main clinical manifestations being large amounts of proteinuria and hypoproteinemia. In severe cases, it can also cause patients to experience recurrent hypertension, edema, and hematuria. Therefore, it is recommended that patients still try to follow a low-protein diet, rest in bed, and frequently use glucocorticoid drugs during their recurrence period.
