Patient's question:
I had a rather messy private life when I was young, and I also had bad habits regarding sexual activity. I don't know what to do. My kidneys have started to have problems. Should I undergo a thorough laboratory examination for nephrotic syndrome? Can it detect all the issues with my kidneys? I don't want the disease to spread further.Doctor's answer:
There are problems with the kidneys, especially the test results confirming nephrotic syndrome. The laboratory tests include the following: First, through urine to confirm significant proteinuria, second, through blood to identify hyperlipidemia, third, high blood pressure, and then multiple occurrences of severe edema. A careful examination of the pathological tissue slice directly takes the cells inside the kidney, which can be used for diagnosis. The main treatment is with glucocorticoids.
