Treatment for Nephrotic syndrome

Treatment for Nephrotic syndrome

Nephrotic syndrome is a relatively refractory disease, which is its repeated characteristics of the decision, and the treatment process is still relatively long. Therefore, there are many patients very anxious, there will be chaotic medical conditions, this is very wrong.

If you want a good treatment of nephrotic syndrome, we should first understand the common method of treatment in order to choose the right treatment.

First, the early treatment of edema in the disease, which is all patients will occur as a symptom. Therefore, in the treatment of the first to deal with it. Patients with severe edema and hypoalbuminemia should be bed rest. At the same time to the normal amount of high-quality protein diet, to ensure adequate calories to ensure a balanced daily nutrition. And patients with edema should be low-salt diet, if patients with hyperlipidemia should be low-fat diet.

Second, drug treatment This is the treatment of nephrotic syndrome, the most common form of treatment, but will be based on the patient's condition medication. If the patient's symptoms, should be added with a diuretic swelling, or reduce the use of urine protein drugs. Because patients with nephrotic syndrome have significant edema and serous effusion, so the simple limit of salt, water is not significant effect, the doctor can use the recommended diuretics to reduce excessive extracellular fluid. Some antihypertensive drugs can also control the role of hypertension and reduce urinary protein to varying degrees.

Third, the adrenal glucocorticoid This is a drug treatment, an important drug for the treatment of nephrotic syndrome is very effective. However, patients should be used regularly, not self-decrement or sudden withdrawal after long-term use, which may lead to poor treatment or the emergence of some serious side effects.

Patients should not be discontinued when they are treated with medication to achieve cure. If you need to disable or reduce the amount, should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. Patients with nephrotic syndrome, the daily loss of large amounts of protein from the urine, the course of time will inevitably lead to the lack of protein in the body, then if you do not add protein, will become increasingly scarce.

To know that protein is the source of life, the body lacks protein, not only edema, and will be sick, life-threatening. The spread of kidney disease in the community to abstain from eating meat, eggs, fish without scales is unscientific. On the contrary, these patients would like to eat more protein, in particular, is rich in high quality protein foods such as milk, eggs, lean meat, chicken, fish and so on. Of course, not unlimited ingestion of protein, long-term over-ingestion of protein, not only useless, and will increase the burden on the kidneys, which lead to increased renal damage
