Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely weak. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Can nephrotic syndrome be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, whether nephrotic syndrome can resolve on its own depends on the type of kidney pathology, to determine whether it is primary or secondary to other diseases. The clinical diagnostic symptoms of nephrotic syndrome include large amounts of proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, moderate to severe edema, and hyperlipidemia. Among these, urine protein excretion greater than 3.5g/d, and plasma albumin higher than 30g/L. This condition can easily lead to infectious complications, thrombosis and embolism, disorders in protein and fat metabolism, and kidney failure, among others. If the edema is severe, bed rest, a low-sodium diet, and albumin supplementation are required. Wishing you good health.
