The main treatment methods for nephrotic syndrome include:
1. Medication therapy: Use of corticosteroids (such as prednisone tablets, methylprednisolone tablets) to suppress inflammatory reactions and reduce kidney damage; immunosuppressants (such as cyclophosphamide tablets, azathioprine tablets) to regulate the immune system and reduce the burden on the kidneys; and diuretics (such as furosemide tablets, hydrochlorothiazide tablets) to promote urination and alleviate edema symptoms.
2. Anticoagulant therapy: Because patients with nephrotic syndrome are prone to blood clotting due to kidney damage, anticoagulant medications (such as low molecular weight heparin sodium injection, warfarin sodium injection) are required to prevent thrombus formation.
3. Dialysis therapy: For patients with severe illness and significant kidney dysfunction, dialysis is necessary to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood and maintain electrolyte balance.
4. Kidney transplantation: For patients requiring long-term dialysis, kidney transplantation may be considered to restore kidney function and improve quality of life.
