Question
My father is 47 years old and has always been in good health with no bad habits. However, recently, he has been feeling unwell. After a detailed examination, it was discovered that he has nephrotic syndrome. I would like to inquire about effective treatment methods?
Answer
Nephrotic syndrome is a common urological disorder characterized by large amounts of proteinuria, low serum albumin levels, significant edema, and hyperlipidemia. Treatment methods include suppressing the immune system and inflammatory responses, as well as symptomatic treatment. Patients should ensure adequate rest, avoid overexertion, and consume a high-calorie diet rich in high-quality protein. During edema, a low-sodium diet should be followed, and intake of foods containing saturated fatty acids should be minimized.
