Patient's question:
The elderly person at home has not had very good kidney function in the past. Recently, they have frequently experienced uncomfortable symptoms. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as Membranous Nephropathy Stage 2. So, what is the relationship between Membranous Nephropathy Stage 2 and uremia?Doctor's answer:
Phase 2 membranous nephropathy is a very common pathological type within nephrotic syndrome, clinically characterized by massive proteinuria, edema, hyperlipidemia, and hypoproteinemia. Treatment requires the use of hormones and immunosuppressants. The currently preferred treatment regimen involves low-dose hormones combined with tacrolimus. On this basis, Baoling capsules can be taken orally to protect the kidneys, and ACEI-class drugs can be used to reduce urinary protein. During treatment, it is important to avoid overexertion, prevent colds and flu, and maintain a low-sodium, low-fat, and high-quality protein diet.
