Question
My child has been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, a condition I’ve never heard of. Why is this happening to my child? It feels like the end of the world. Although we must face treatment, my child has already been hospitalized twice in a local hospital in Hubei. It is said that a combination of Chinese and Western medicine is needed. I would like to inquire about which hospital in Wuhan and which doctor specializes in treating this condition? Thank you very much.
Answer
Nephrotic syndrome is a common disease that usually requires a combination of Western medicine treatments such as hormones and tripterygium glycosides, along with Chinese medicine treatments that focus on kidney and spleen tonification, and blood circulation and stasis removal. It is recommended to visit the nephrology department of a local medical university affiliated hospital for a combined Chinese and Western medicine treatment.
