First: limit sodium: nephritis or nephrotic edema have sodium retention, must limit sodium intake, but to appropriate, long-term sodium can cause hyponatremia.

Second: diuresis: if necessary, diuretics can promote the excretion of sodium and water, relieve edema, relieve hypertension and reduce cardiac load.

Because of edema, the feet are much fatter than before. At this time, if you wear too tight shoes, it will be very sad. Warm tips: airtight shoes had better not choose, because it will aggravate the swelling.
