Patient's question:
Recently, it's said that one of my friends has nephrotic syndrome. He has now experienced symptoms of edema, nausea, and loss of appetite multiple times. Our relationship has always been good, so I'm particularly worried about him, and I hope he can recover quickly. I want to know how to treat nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for nephrotic syndrome mainly involve dietary adjustments, such as adhering to a low-protein diet and avoiding excessively salty foods. Hormone therapy is primarily used to control urinary protein levels. In traditional Chinese medicine, complementary treatments can also be applied, such as using herbal medications to reduce urinary protein and implement symptomatic treatment. It is essential to maintain good rest and regularly monitor hormone levels, gradually adjusting medication dosages as needed.
