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 was kidney disease. I'm wondering if nephrotic syndrome can recur after recovery. Can it be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Welcome for consultation. The prognosis of nephrotic syndrome varies greatly. Mild nephrotic syndrome, referring to minimal change disease and mild membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, generally has a better prognosis with a higher rate of remission. However, it is prone to relapse after remission. But the progression of this relatively mild nephrotic syndrome is also relatively slow. The likelihood of developing renal failure is also relatively low and occurs later. Other types of nephrotic syndrome are difficult to remit.
