Patient's question:
Older nephrotic syndrome, 65 years old this year, the body is getting worse, especially kidney function, really better than when young. As people get older, if the kidneys have problems, it becomes troublesome. The most serious thing is that it affects their own relatives. Doctor, do you think this can be cured? They don't want to spend some money.Doctor's answer:
Bed rest should be the primary treatment for nephrotic syndrome. Bed rest can enhance renal blood flow and urine output to prevent cross-infection. However, appropriate bedside exercises should also be performed to prevent limb thrombosis. When symptoms stabilize, the level of activity can be gradually increased. This helps reduce blood lipids and complications. However, if proteinuria increases, it may be necessary to increase physical activity. Dietary therapy should be easier to digest, and a semi-liquid diet should be adopted. Patients with nephrotic syndrome often experience edema accompanied by mucosal edema in the digestive tract, which affects absorption. Attention should be paid to the composition of the diet.
