What are the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome?

Patient's question:

Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been slightly swollen all over. I feel weak all the time. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome are?

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome:
1. If a large amount of proteinuria reappears, it is likely to be Nephrotic Syndrome;
2. Swelling in the face, lower limbs, and scrotum reappears to varying degrees, and the swelling may worsen when the patient is infected;
3. Hypoproteinemia;
4. Due to abnormal lipid metabolism in patients with Nephrotic Syndrome, various lipid components in the patient's plasma may increase again, leading to the recurrence of hyperlipidemia symptoms.
