Patient's question:
A while ago, when I thoroughly checked myself, I found that I have nephrotic syndrome. Now this disease has interfered with my life. I would like to ask what nephrotic syndrome is?Doctor's answer:
A syndrome is a group of clinical diagnoses caused by various different reasons, including chronic nephritis. The clinical manifestations include large amounts of proteinuria, severe edema, hypoproteinemia, and hyperlipidemia. The general treatment goal is to alleviate severe edema and hypoproteinemia. Patients should rest in bed, eat a low-sodium diet, control water intake, and consume a high-protein diet. Western medicine treatment generally involves methods such as corticosteroids, diuretics, and immunosuppressants, but these can cause significant side effects on the body.
