Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing nose and eye discharge, slight swelling, difficulty swallowing, and stomach discomfort. The doctor said it's primary nephrotic syndrome. How is primary nephrotic syndrome treated?Doctor's answer:
Primary nephrotic syndrome is a group of syndromes caused by primary and secondary kidney diseases. It refers to a clinical diagnostic syndrome composed of a combination of symptoms such as massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. If treatment is not timely or inappropriate, it may lead to the recurrence of uremia. Western medicine primarily uses hormones, such as corticosteroids, as the main treatment for kidney diseases, mainly due to their anti-inflammatory effects. Long-term medication is required.
