Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constantly tired and my waist and lower limbs are also swollen. I suspect it might be nephrotic syndrome, so I'd like to ask what are the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
If you have lower body edema, it may indicate some issues with your kidney function, possibly caused by nephritis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a systematic and thorough examination. Early detection and treatment of this condition are best. If not treated actively, the condition can become more serious. Some kidney diseases are irreversible and can progress further.Nephrotic syndrome is a relatively common clinical manifestation of kidney disease. The main clinical features include three highs: hyperlipidemia, severe edema, and high levels of urinary protein. The main symptoms include severe facial and leg edema, general weakness, and changes in urine quality. If you experience the above symptoms, they can be confirmed through tests such as urinalysis, renal function tests, hemorheology, and kidney biopsies.
