Patient's question:
My partner is a nurse and works very busy every day. A few weeks ago, she felt swelling in her lower limbs and went to the hospital for various examinations. The doctor diagnosed her with nephrotic syndrome. She was prescribed a bunch of large and small packages of medicine. After taking them for a period of time, she gained a few pounds and her health check-up indicators still didn't return to normal. How should nephrotic syndrome be treated? Is it more reliable to use traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?Doctor's answer:
Now it is mainly to carefully check for nephrotic syndrome, which is believed to be a relatively serious disease. It may recur with body swelling, eyelid swelling, and abnormal urination. If left untreated for a long time, it is easy to develop renal insufficiency again. For this condition, if it is relatively severe, hospitalization and initial Western medicine treatment are appropriate, followed by coordinated treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. This can help control the disease, prevent it from worsening, and aid in the gradual recovery of the body.
