Question
A 7-year-old child has been experiencing generalized edema for a month, and urine protein test shows three plus signs. How to treat pediatric nephrotic syndrome?
Answer
The main symptoms of pediatric nephrotic syndrome include massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. Most cases of pediatric nephrotic syndrome are of the minimal change type and respond to hormone therapy. Treatment should involve consulting a renal department in a large hospital to determine the condition type and select an appropriate hormone treatment plan for active management.
