Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely drained of energy. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could you please tell me what the clinical manifestations of nephrotic syndrome are?Doctor's answer:
Patients with nephrotic syndrome typically exhibit symptoms such as massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia, and body edema, which are often pitting edema. To diagnose this condition, it is first necessary to combine the patient's symptoms with careful examinations and renal biopsy. The disease is primarily treated with hormone-based medications, and the treatment period is relatively long. In terms of diet, protein intake should be increased, alcohol consumption should be avoided, and staying up late is absolutely not recommended.
