Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. How can children's nephrotic syndrome be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, nephrotic syndrome in childhood. According to the pathological type, appropriate treatment can be adopted. In children, mild-type nephrotic syndrome is most common. Nephrotic syndrome occurs when the immune system is activated due to certain reasons, leading to the re-emergence of immune antibodies. These immune antibodies produce autoimmune complexes, which deposit on the glomerular basement membrane, causing damage. Therefore, immune therapy is necessary. Children with nephrotic syndrome need to be treated with adrenal glucocorticoid hormones. The course of treatment must be sufficient to restore normal function.
