Yesterday, my husband came home with a physical examination report. I saw that there was an item on the high level of proteinuria. I didn't know what it was, so I went to the hospital for a detailed examination. The doctor said that my husband had nephrotic syndrome. Today, let me talk about nephrotic syndrome.

What is nephrotic syndrome

First: nephrotic syndrome is caused by a variety of causes, with a large number of proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia and edema as clinical symptoms of a disease. The main clinical treatment is to eliminate edema, reduce blood pressure, reduce and even disappear proteinuria, improve plasma albumin, reduce hyperlipidemia, protect renal function and so on. Immunosuppressants are generally used.

Second, it is a syndrome in the glomerulus, which is related to the increased filtration of plasma and proteinuria by the glomerular filtration membrane. Clinically, it is often characterized by "three high and one low" symptoms: massive proteinuria, hypercholesterolemia, varying degrees of edema and hypoproteinemia.

Third: nephrotic syndrome is a group of clinical symptoms caused by a variety of reasons, including chronic nephritis. The clinical manifestations are massive proteinuria, severe edema, hypoproteinemia and hyperlipidemia. If there is a similar situation, you can see a doctor as soon as possible, determine the cause of disease, and achieve early detection and early treatment.
