Nephrotic syndrome attacks repeatedly? Beware of heredity

summary

Nephrotic syndrome is easy to occur in children over seven years old. In general, patients will have different degrees of recurrence soon after their condition improves, and the recurrence is repeated, causing great harm to patients. So, what is the cause of recurrent disease? Here is a detailed introduction:

Nephrotic syndrome attacks repeatedly? Beware of heredity

One reason: the patient's heredity. The researchers found that: the recurrence of nephrotic syndrome is associated with leukocyte antigenicity, and this antigenicity is determined by heredity and cannot be changed.

The second reason: infection. Many patients relapse and infection is related, especially with viral upper respiratory tract inflammation. Once the patient has a cold, it will cause positive urine protein, and some patients will have edema. In addition, we need to remind: some patients with cold improved, proteinuria will not disappear, must be hormone dosage, therefore, patients and their families should pay attention to infection and cold.

The third reason is the long-term use of prednisone. Long term use of prednisone drugs can cause adrenal atrophy in patients, and patients will not be secreting hormone after drug withdrawal. Therefore, it is easy to cause relapse in this case. Therefore, remind patients to take less drugs harmful to the kidney.

matters needing attention

Some patients make their own decisions, shorten the course of treatment, stop hormone drugs, or use traditional Chinese medicine treatment. In fact, this practice is very dangerous, it is very easy to cause relapse, and it may also cause ineffective hormone treatment. Therefore, we should warn patients and their families to follow the doctor's advice and take medicine on time according to the doctor's requirements.
