Nephrotic syndrome errors

Nephrotic syndrome is a common kidney disease, but our understanding of nephrotic syndrome is not deep enough, often into some errors, then these errors are those?

What Are the Causes of Relapse in Nephrotic Syndrome

Misunderstanding 1: primary nephrotic syndrome is an acute disease
Positive solution: primary nephrotic syndrome is a chronic disease. Manifested as "three high and one low", that is, a high degree of proteinuria, a high degree of edema, hyperlipidemia, hypoproteinemia. Most patients with nephrotic syndrome have no incentive to develop, some have a history of allergies or have a recent history of vaccination; some occur in the insect bites, bees sting and so on. Some patients think they are physically healthy, these days suddenly swollen, must have acute illness, a few days will be better. Really not, once the primary nephrotic syndrome, is a chronic disease.

Why is Nephrotic Syndrome Easy to Relapse

Misunderstanding 2: the more proteinuria, the more obvious swelling, the more severe the disease
Positive solution: nephrotic syndrome severity and prognosis depends mainly on the pathological type. The pathological type only through the renal puncture check to clear. Some patients, although swollen, but slightly pathological type, mostly sensitive to hormone therapy, the effect is better. On the contrary, some patients although edema is not obvious, the pathological manifestations of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis or severe focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, hormone therapy is not sensitive, the prognosis is poor. Therefore, patients with adult nephrotic syndrome is best to do kidney biopsy, clear pathological type, and then determine the treatment program. So as to avoid blind treatment with hormones, resulting in adverse consequences.

How To Treat Nephrotic Syndrome Without Making It Relapse

Misunderstanding 3: nephrotic syndrome patients lose the more the better albumin
Positive solution: actually losing albumin is a waste. Intravenous albumin, 1 to 2 days will be discharged from the urine through the kidneys, can only maintain a short effect. Enter albumin, just for both cases.
(A) nephrotic syndrome patients with severe systemic edema, and intravenous furosemide can not achieve diuretic swelling effect.

Basics of Nephrotic Syndrome

(B) the use of furosemide diuresis, the patient appears insufficient performance of plasma capacity. In recent years, studies of patients with nephrotic syndrome have shown that the plasma protein response to hormone therapy is significantly slower than that of unused plasma products, and the more plasma products are, the slower the proteinuria is. Albumin is expensive, especially long-term loss of albumin, can be described as "worth the candle."
Treatments for Nephrotic Syndrome

Misunderstanding 4: take a sudden withdrawal of hormones
Positive solution: the principle of hormone therapy is "the first amount of foot, the reduction is slow, to maintain long."
Usually the initial treatment of patients starting daily with prednisone 1mg / kg, hormone adjustment dose must be based on their own situation, in the doctor know the reduction, and not by their own feelings of reduction. So as to reduce the recurrence of nephrotic syndrome.
