summary

Because my body appeared glomerular filtration decline, resulting in renal edema, has been receiving professional treatment, and the usual diet is also quite cautious. Let's take a look at the treatment of renal edema.

What are the treatment methods of renal edema

First of all: limit sodium intake: nephritis or nephrotic edema have sodium water retention, we must limit sodium intake, but it does not mean that we can not eat salt, if the long-term salt intake is relatively low, it will lead to hyponatremia.

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

Finally: control proteinuria: for nephrotic edema, proteinuria must be controlled, and immunosuppressive drugs (dexamethasone, prednisone, etc.) can be used to restore normal glomerular permeability;

matters needing attention

Supine position can increase renal blood flow, increase glomerular filtration rate and reduce * retention of water and sodium. Patients with mild edema should pay attention to proper rest, avoid strenuous exercise, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and pay attention to limit the amount of activity.
