What should you eat when you have nephrotic syndrome and edema?

Patient's question:

I noticed that my body would not experience hair loss again a while ago and was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome at the hospital. I want to know what to eat if nephrotic syndrome recurs with edema?

Doctor's answer:

The characteristics of renal edema are that water first occurs in loose tissues such as eyelids or facial areas, followed by ankles. If the condition is severe, it may extend to the lower limbs and the whole body. Regarding nephrotic edema, it is essential to interfere with water, sodium, and protein intake. A diet with high-quality protein and low-fat intake is recommended. You can drink some Baiwei Duzhong Stewed Kidney, which has the effects of warming the kidneys, astringent essence, refining protein, and strengthening muscles and bones. It is suitable for patients with nephrotic syndrome due to kidney and liver deficiency, with symptoms such as cold lower back pain.
