The presence of proteinuria is due to kidney cell damage, where the filtration membrane pores of the glomeruli become enlarged or broken, leading to protein leakage. Edema occurs due to excessive accumulation of water and sodium ions caused by kidney damage. For the treatment of nephrotic syndrome, Western medicine often employs hormone therapy, but hormones can only temporarily control proteinuria and hematuria without repairing damaged kidneys. Once faced with conditions like colds, infections, or improper dosage adjustments, the condition is prone to recurrence. Moreover, hormone side effects are significant, including moon face, acne, hirsutism, hypertension, diabetes, central obesity, weakened immunity, susceptibility to colds and infections, difficulty in wound healing, and digestive tract irritation issues such as gastric ulcers.
