Patient's question:
My uncle's friend is hospitalized. It seems like he has met my dad before, so they are planning to visit him in the hospital. They said he has some kind of nephrotic syndrome, which seems quite serious, and he has been hospitalized for a while. To be honest, I don't really understand this kind of disease. What are the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome is a relatively common kidney system disease, and clinical diagnosis can be characterized by "three highs and one low," namely hyperlipidemia, severe edema, high urine protein, and hypoalbuminemia. Symptoms include severe facial and lower limb edema, general fatigue, increased urine output, etc. If these symptoms reappear, they can be confirmed through careful examination of urine routine, renal function, hemorheology, and kidney biopsy, among others.
