Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhao Xinju
The main symptoms of nephrotic syndrome include massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. These symptoms typically arise due to impaired kidney filtration function, which prevents proteins and other substances from being properly excreted from the blood, leading to their accumulation in the body. Causes of nephrotic syndrome are varied and may include infections, autoimmune diseases, drug side effects, and others. In terms of management, it is important first to control protein intake to reduce the burden on the kidneys; second, to restrict salt intake to prevent worsening of edema. Treatment should be tailored according to the specific cause and condition, and may include medications, immunosuppressive therapy, and others. Please follow your doctor's instructions and actively cooperate with treatment to effectively manage the disease.
