Patient's question:
During this time, I have always felt that my kidney function is not harmonious with sexual life, and I often feel weak in the waist and knees. My friend told me that this is a symptom of late-stage nephrotic syndrome. I want to know what the symptoms of late-stage nephrotic syndrome are?Doctor's answer:
In the first stage of renal reserve, the compensatory period, there were no abnormalities, only a mild increase in renal function. Because the kidneys have strong compensatory ability, even a slight increase in function can maintain basic water and electrolyte balance, so the patient will never experience any symptoms again. The second stage of uremia, the decompensatory period, has arrived. During this period, the kidneys' glomerular and tubular function is severely damaged by 60%. This is because the kidneys' metabolic function has been severely impaired. Due to the inability to promptly excrete waste, many symptoms such as weakness, memory loss, and anemia have occurred.
