Patient's question:
I have nephrotic syndrome. Since the disease was diagnosed, I have been taking medicine and it has been almost two weeks. But I still feel a bit puffy. I want to know how long it takes to treat nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome refers to a group of syndromes caused by various different reasons, mainly including glomerular diseases such as increased permeability of the glomerular basement membrane and reduced glomerular filtration rate. The clinical diagnostic features of nephrotic syndrome are massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, severe edema, hyperlipidemia, and other symptoms in the urine. The human glomerular filtration membrane is composed of a layer of capillary endothelial cells, a basement membrane, and a layer of podocyte epithelial cells.
