What should be done if a patient with nephrotic syndrome develops an infection?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to know, what is nephrotic syndrome? It is said to have a certain genetic predisposition, not only endangering one's own health but also harming the life and health of family members, which is a bit sad. Can you tell me if patients with nephrotic syndrome are prone to recurrence?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with nephrotic syndrome do not usually easily recur with a contagious condition; this disease is generally not hereditary. If nephrotic syndrome is not well-controlled for a long time, it may lead to the recurrence of conditions such as uremia. In cases of inflammation, it can result in kidney failure, and in some cases, kidney transplantation surgery may be necessary. Therefore, it is important to control the condition early to prevent it from worsening.
