How long can people with nephrotic syndrome live?

Patient's question:

My classmates, in the past few months, he often feels weak all over sometimes, and sometimes he gets dizzy. Recently, he also noticed bubbles in his urine. He went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed it as nephrotic syndrome. His mood is very low, afraid he won't live much longer. Hello, how long can people with nephrotic syndrome live?

Doctor's answer:

Nephrotic syndrome, if treated in time, generally only requires medication to control the condition, and patients' lifespans can often be extended to 20 to 30 years. Nephrotic syndrome should be prevented and its transmission controlled, as it is a cause of death and a trigger for recurrence. During treatment, it is important to avoid crowded public places and maintain clean skin and oral hygiene. Do not overexert yourself and actively cooperate with your doctor's treatment.
