Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel weak all over. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could you please ask about treatment options for patients with lupus and nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
First, nephrotic syndrome and mainly two types of infectious-related autoimmune reactions generally occur due to glomerular inflammation, leading to the recurrence of large amounts of proteinuria or hypoproteinemia in patients. Therefore, it is necessary to actively use steroid drugs to suppress many clinical symptoms of the patients. Systemic lupus erythematosus is mainly caused by vasculitis affecting various organ systems, leading to additional clinical manifestations in patients. At the same time, it is necessary to actively use steroid drugs for treatment.
