Patient's question:
My child is now 8 years old. Yesterday, his health check-up results at the hospital were not good. It was said that he has a large amount of proteinuria, hyperlipidemia, and low protein. The child has recently been easily swollen and has also been urinating blood. In the end, the doctor said this is nephrotic syndrome in children. Hello, how high is the mortality rate for children with nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, the patient was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. In children, nephrotic syndrome is most commonly primary, and the pathological type is mostly minimal change disease, which responds well to hormones. First-line treatment can consider using hormones directly to treat nephrotic syndrome. In the life of patients with nephrotic syndrome, many severe complications often occur, such as thromboembolism, severe infections, catabolism of the kidneys, acute kidney injury, and patients are often at risk of life-threatening complications.
