Patient's question:
First encounter with a patient with nephrotic syndrome, a relative of mine, who is in the hospital for symptom relief. She said she goes to the toilet several times a day and feels uncomfortable all over. I noticed she had lost a lot of weight. I asked, "What should be done about nephrotic syndrome?"Doctor's answer:
Hello, nephrotic syndrome is a chronic kidney disease that is related to various factors, such as personal constitution. It is also greatly related to hereditary factors across generations. In such cases, it is important to alleviate the condition promptly. Otherwise, if the renal function continues to deteriorate, it may progress to kidney failure, which would be very serious. In such situations, dialysis or kidney transplantation would be the only options for relief. Additionally, medications that can damage the kidneys should not be used.
