Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely drained. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Could you please explain what kidney disease is and how serious it is?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, first of all, nephrotic syndrome is an autoimmune disease, which primarily causes patients to experience symptoms such as massive proteinuria or hypoproteinemia, as well as edema, hematuria, and many other clinical diagnostic symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended to use glucocorticoid drugs in the acute phase to provide timely treatment and closely monitor the condition. It is also advisable to actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
