What causes nephrotic syndrome?

Patient's question:

I always thought that kidney disease only affected older men, but my husband has recently been carefully diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. He has also experienced symptoms such as lower back pain and even urinary pain. Therefore, I would like to ask the doctor what causes nephrotic syndrome.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your purchase situation, nephrotic syndrome is one of the common diseases of the kidneys, and there are many different causes. The etiology is not very clear at present. Experiments have shown that it may be related to infectious inflammation of the kidneys, autoimmune reactions, and generational genetic factors. Diagnosis requires a kidney biopsy, and treatment mainly relies on hormones to suppress autoimmune and inflammatory responses. I hope my explanation can help you.
