Patient's question:
When going home, I found out that my father's eyes had been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome at the hospital. I want to know if nephrotic syndrome can be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome refers to a group of syndromes primarily characterized by glomerular lesions such as increased permeability of the glomerular basement membrane and reduced glomerular filtration rate, caused by various etiologies. When nephrotic syndrome occurs, this barrier function is impaired, leading to increased protein filtration and thus the development of proteinuria. Patients with nephrotic syndrome can be completely cured if effective treatment is initiated in the early stages, and they can generally recover within approximately six months.
