Patient's question:
My cousin was supposed to start working this year, but before her pre-employment health check-up, she discovered that her albumin levels in the blood were too low. The final diagnosis was nephrotic syndrome. The doctor said it was necessary to control it promptly, otherwise, it might develop into uremia after a period of time. I heard it's a chronic condition. How can nephrotic syndrome be treated?Doctor's answer:
The primary treatment for nephrotic syndrome primarily involves a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for symptomatic treatment. It is recommended to consult the nephrology department of a major hospital for a follow-up examination, improve relevant tests, and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment based on clinical diagnosis. Rest is important during the day, avoid overwork and fatigue, and prevent prolonged sitting or standing. The diet should be light, avoid seafood, marine products, spicy foods, and control salt intake.
