Can Nephrotic Syndrome Be Treated Effectively?
Disease description:
My wife and I have been married for over a year, and we haven't been able to conceive. I was worried that the problem might be with me, so I secretly went to the hospital for an examination. The doctor diagnosed me with nephrotic syndrome. I would like to ask whether nephrotic syndrome can be cured?

The treatment outcomes for nephrotic syndrome vary among individuals, but most patients can achieve clinical remission. The effectiveness of treatment mainly depends on the pathological type, treatment methods, and patient adherence.
1. Pathological type: Minimal change disease has the best prognosis, with most cases being curable; membranous nephropathy and FSGS also demonstrate high clinical remission rates following treatment.
2. Treatment methods: Hormones and immunosuppressive agents are the primary treatment modalities. Some patients who are sensitive to hormones may experience rapid remission, while those with steroid dependence or resistance require combination therapy with other immunosuppressive agents.
3. Patient adherence: Active cooperation with medical treatment, timely medication intake, and regular follow-up visits significantly impact treatment outcomes.
Treatment of nephrotic syndrome requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, and most patients can achieve clinical remission through active treatment.
