Patient's question:
I felt uncomfortable in my stomach and body, with symptoms like edema and other discomforts, and recently went to the hospital for a diagnosis, which confirmed it as nephrotic syndrome. I want to know what treatment options are available for this condition?Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome is primarily treated with two approaches: traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine hormone therapy. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment cannot be effectively refined, which may lead to slow and prolonged efficacy. Western medicine can achieve good therapeutic effects in a short time, helping patients alleviate clinical symptoms, but it cannot repair damaged kidneys and may have some side effects. It is important to carefully observe changes in the body. If discomfort symptoms reappear, active blood and urine tests should be conducted.
