Question
What should nephrotic syndrome patients eat?
Answer
Nephrotic syndrome patients should consume more fruits, wheat flour noodles, oatmeal, biscuits, and other starch-based foods. They should also control their water intake according to their doctor’s advice. Additionally, patients can apply for amino acids but should avoid eating irritating foods such as coffee and chili. Clinically, the treatment of nephrotic syndrome mainly adopts two methods: traditional Chinese medicine decoctions and Western medicine hormones. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for nephrotic syndrome may be effective, but the drugs may not be able to effectively reach the lesion, leading to slow or even ineffective medication.
