Patient's question:
I would like to ask how Nephrotic Syndrome is causedDoctor's answer:
Disease Analysis: Hello! Nephrotic syndrome is divided into primary and secondary types. Primary nephrotic syndrome is a type of glomerulonephritis.Guidance: Secondary nephrotic syndrome can be caused by immune diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematosus), diabetes, secondary infections (such as bacterial infections, hepatitis B virus, etc.), circulatory system diseases, drug poisoning, and other factors. Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by edema, large amounts of proteinuria, and hypoproteinemia. Due to changes in the permeability of the glomerular filtration membrane, proteins leak more, forming large amounts of proteinuria. Large amounts of proteinuria lead to hypoproteinemia, and hypoproteinemia, combined with metabolic disorders in the body, causes edema. Edema can be mild or severe, but large amounts of proteinuria and hypoproteinemia are essential conditions for diagnosing nephrotic syndrome. Treatment should address the primary disease, and patients should rest, avoid infections, and maintain a light diet.
