Patient's question:
My child is 3 years old this year. When he was born, he was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome in children, but after more than two years have passed, the child has not felt any discomfort in his body. I am a bit suspicious that he was misdiagnosed initially and would like to consult a doctor about what are the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome in children?Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome poses significant harm to children's health and can be classified into primary, secondary, and hereditary types. It can manifest as symptoms such as massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and edema. If not treated promptly and properly, it can lead to severe complications such as kidney dysfunction and uremia. Therefore, it is necessary to seek follow-up care in the nephrology department and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
