Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was nephrotic syndrome. I've never heard of this condition before. It just sounds like it's not very treatable. How is nephrotic syndrome treated?Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome is a relatively common kidney system disease in clinical diagnosis. Its main clinical manifestations include large amounts of proteinuria, facial and bilateral lower limb edema, hypoproteinemia, abnormal lipid metabolism, and may also be accompanied by systemic fatigue and weakness. It can be confirmed through careful examination of urine routine, renal function, and 24-hour proteinuria. In terms of treatment, hormone therapy is primarily used, followed by taking the treatment dose for one year.
