Nephrotic Syndrome refers to the kidney patients who present a large amount of proteinuria (greater than 3.5g/24h) and hypoproteinemia (less than 30g/L).

Nephrotic syndrome has 4 characteristics: a lot of albuminuria, hypoproteinemia, heavy edema, and hyperlipidemia. A large amount of proteinuria leads to hypoproteinemia, which in turn leads to heavy edema and hyperlipidemia.

Large amount of proteinuria and hypoproteinemia are necessary criteria for the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome.

Many kinds of kidney disease, such as minimal change disease, membranous proliferative nephropathy and IgA Nephropathy, may present as nephrotic syndrome.

Urinary protein is a common cause of renal failure in patients with nephrotic syndrome, so the patients concern it very much. After each examination, they usually first see if there is a drop in urine protein.

However, in clinical treatment, doctors need to give priority to improve plasma albumin and hypoalbuminemia in many cases.

If the plasma albumin is low, the harm is very great.

1. Plasma albumin below 25g/L is easy to produce ascites, but also easy to cause cardiopulmonary hydrops, making the patient's life dangerous. The increase of plasma albumin is helpful for rapid detumescence and elimination of pleural and peritoneal effusion.

2. The low plasma albumin can also cause deep venous thrombosis easily. Thrombosis is a serious complication threatening the life of patients with nephrotic syndrome.

In addition, when plasma albumin gets normal, it can also regulate the immune system, and reduce the risk of infection. And it is also helpful for improving the effect of drugs, eliminating urinary protein, preventing colds and infections, preventing the recurrence of kidney disease.

If you can not find out an effective treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome, you can try a systemic Chinese medicine treatment - Toxin-Removing Treatment. After about one week’s treatment, swelling will vanish. After about half month’s treatment, proteinuria will be reduced. After about one month’s treatment, your disease will be under control, and renal function will get improved. And then proteinuria will turn negative. With treatment going on, you will get a permanent control of Nephrotic Syndrome without worrying about the relapse.

Now you know that to treat Nephrotic Syndrome, the first thing may be not to lower proteinuria, but to restore the plasma albumin. For more information on Nephrotic Syndrome treatment, please leave a message below or contact online doctor.
