What is Nephrotic Syndrome? How is it Treated? Will It Affect Fertility?

Nephrotic syndrome is a disease characterized by large amounts of proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, severe edema, and hyperlipidemia, commonly referred to as ‘highs and lows.’ It is a clinical syndrome with metabolic disturbances. Patients with severe edema and hypoalbuminemia should rest in bed. They can only get up and move around once the edema subsides and their condition improves. In the later stages, nephrotic syndrome can lead to renal dysfunction and even uremia. Currently, there is no cure for this disease, and it requires long-term treatment with hormone-like medications. However, it does not affect fertility in the next generation.
