Patient's question:
My grandfather has nephrotic syndrome. We have bought a lot of Western medicine for his condition, and he has also been taking traditional Chinese medicine continuously. However, this disease has not shown any signs of improvement at all. It can be said that there has been no effect whatsoever. Can nephrotic syndrome be alleviated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the description, the patient has been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, which generally manifests as massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. Nephrotic syndrome cannot be cured, but some patients can achieve remission through medication. Currently, the commonly used drugs for treating nephrotic syndrome include corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, anticoagulants, and antiplatelet drugs, etc.
