Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel weak all over. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could you please explain what nephrotic syndrome is?Doctor's answer:
The so-called hidden glomerulonephritis refers to patients who have glomerulonephritis, meaning there is protein or polymorphic red blood cells in their urine, but they do not have other complications, such as edema, high blood pressure, or kidney failure, which are common complications of glomerulonephritis. The condition is relatively subtle and difficult to detect. In most cases, this condition is relatively mild.
