Patient's question:
In the past two months, I have noticed that my weight has decreased significantly. Almost every morning, I feel my body is very heavy and lacking energy, often experiencing fatigue and recurrent feverish conditions. At first, I tolerated it, but later went to the hospital for a thorough examination. They said I have systemic lupus nephritis. How should this disease be treated?Doctor's answer:
If it has been diagnosed as lupus nephritis, it is necessary to take kidney and anti-rheumatic medications. After taking the medication, data monitoring of liver and kidney function, urine routine, and blood routine should be conducted periodically. If necessary, some liver-protective and white blood cell-reducing drugs may also be needed. Avoid consuming salty foods and follow a low-sodium, low-fat diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables can be eaten. Do not frequently hold your urine and engage in more aerobic breathing exercises.
