Question
What symptoms does nephrotic syndrome present? What are the treatment methods?
Answer
Nephrotic syndrome primarily presents with symptoms such as massive proteinuria (more than 3.5 grams of urine protein in 24 hours), low albuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. Treatment usually involves medication, such as steroids and immunosuppressants, to reduce the inflammatory response of the immune system and control symptoms. In addition, supportive therapies such as managing edema and controlling blood pressure may be required. Treatment plans should be tailored to the specific condition of the patient and the severity of the disease.
