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's kidney disease. I was wondering what kind of medication is best for nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of nephrotic syndrome is primarily based on glucocorticoid therapy. In daily diet, low-protein and low-calorie foods should be consumed, and rest should be paid close attention to. During the course of glucocorticoid treatment, it is absolutely necessary not to reduce or stop medication on one's own. If kidney failure recurs, dialysis treatment must be used to maintain life, as other drug treatments cannot achieve good effects. Participate actively in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
