Question

Patient inquiries about the impact of kidney biopsy on hormone therapy for nephrotic syndrome.

Answer

Experts recommend using Chinese herbal medicine to treat nephrotic syndrome while avoiding the use of hormones, as hormone therapy only temporarily alleviates symptoms and has significant side effects. It is suggested to use Chinese herbal medicine, which has minimal side effects and can effectively improve related issues of nephrotic syndrome and adjust the patient’s immune system to combat allergic reactions.
