Patient's question:
Because I suddenly had a fever before, besides getting those butterfly-shaped rashes, I felt it was very scary and immediately went to the hospital. Then I found out it was lupus nephritis. Recently, I have also been taking medication in addition to IV drips and feel like I'm gradually getting better. However, I know almost nothing about post-treatment care. What are the nursing methods for lupus nephritis?Doctor's answer:
Lupus nephritis, if symptoms significantly improve during treatment, there is no need to worry. Of course, proper care and treatment are still necessary. First and foremost, it is important to pay attention to diet and avoid spicy foods, while increasing the intake of dairy products, eggs, lean meat, and vegetables and fruits. Maintain emotional stability, avoid excessive irritability and anxiety, ensure sufficient deep sleep, drink plenty of water and urinate frequently, and avoid overly strenuous exercise. Sexual activity is temporarily not recommended.
