Patient's question:
In our company, we organized a health check-up, and after a thorough examination, it was found that my urine has a slight odor, indicating the presence of protein in my urine. The doctor concluded that it is chronic nephrotic syndrome. Therefore, I would like to know how long can a person live with chronic nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
If a patient has nephrotic syndrome, the specific life stage will depend on how it may recur as chronic kidney failure and how it may lead to uremia. If a patient is diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, the first step is to confirm the specific pathological type. Treatment can be implemented through the use of Western medicine, and of course, it can also be achieved through the use of many Chinese herbal medicines. In a small number of cases, some patients may achieve self-recovery, while a small number of patients may experience recurrent kidney dysfunction. The formation of nephritis poses a threat to life and health, which requires going through a long process. Patients generally do not face the threat of death at the time of diagnosis.
