Patient's question:
This week has already started, and I've noticed that my whole body has swelled up. My old pants are much tighter to wear, and when I press them with my hand, they indent. When I go to the bathroom, I noticed that there are many bubbles in my urine. If others tell you that I have nephrotic syndrome, then what are the good treatments for nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
For patients with nephrotic syndrome who repeatedly experience an increase in foamy urine, it is likely due to proteinuria. Urinalysis can be performed for diagnosis. Currently, nephrotic syndrome is primarily treated with oral prednisone tablets. It is crucial to maintain a low-protein diet and avoid strenuous exercise. Treatment measures should be adjusted based on the patient's condition. Additionally, oral traditional Chinese medicine can be used in conjunction with Western medicine for comprehensive treatment.
