Question
How do the causes of pediatric nephrotic syndrome arise? How can it be completely cured?
Answer
Pediatric nephrotic syndrome is a group of clinical symptoms characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. It is characterized by the “four high and one low” condition, namely massive proteinuria (≥3.5g/d), edema, hyperlipidemia, and low plasma protein levels (≤30g/L). Severe cases may present with pleural effusion and anuria. The treatment guidelines include removing the causes and triggers, eliminating edema and lowering blood pressure, reducing proteinuria until it disappears, raising plasma albumin levels and lowering hyperlipidemia, as well as protecting kidney function and preventing recurrence.
