What should be noted in the diet for nephrotic syndrome?

Patient's question:

I have had kidney disease for several months, but I haven't sought treatment. In the hospital, I only pay attention to hygiene and other factors. I want to know about the diet for patients with nephrotic syndrome, what precautions need to be taken, and what foods should be avoided?

Doctor's answer:

Nephrotic syndrome is a common type of kidney Yang deficiency. The main symptoms include massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, severe edema, and hyperlipidemia. From a clinical perspective, dietary management should include high-quality high-protein foods, a low-fat diet, and a low-sodium diet. Avoid extremely cold and irritating foods, as well as overly greasy foods. Active treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
