Question

Always feel uncomfortable and restless, can’t sleep. What is the correct way to care for nephrotic syndrome?

Answer

Hello, patients with nephrotic syndrome may experience symptoms such as recurrent edema, significant proteinuria, hyperlipidemia, and hypoalbuminemia. In terms of care, patients should rest in bed but also engage in appropriate physical activity to prevent thrombosis. Additionally, fluid intake should be limited to prevent the worsening of edema, and a low-protein diet should be adopted with a protein intake of about 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. The diet should be light and avoid excessive fat to alleviate hyperlipidemia.
