How to treat edema in a nephrotic syndrome
How to treat edema in a nephrotic syndrome? Nephrotic syndrome is one of the leading causes of kidney failure, and in this kidney disease edema is the most prominent symptom. Edema is also commonly called swelling or fluid retention, and its effective management helps to slow the disease and increase the life expectancy of patients. Well, how to treat edema in a nephrotic syndrome?
In the nephrotic syndrome for effective treatment of edema the following measures are necessary:
1. Limit fluid intake to avoid deterioration of the disease
For an individual with edema, he needs to reduce fluid intake, since drinking too much water will increase the burden on the kidneys and worsen the condition of the disease. As a rule, patients can drink 500 milliliters more liquid than the volume of their urine production. In addition, for patients with renal insufficiency, if they have started dialysis, they may need to follow different principles of fluid intake.

2. Actively monitor proteinuria
In patients with nephrotic syndrome, edema caused by a strong protein course is observed. And usually, the more protein in the urine, the heavier the swelling. Therefore, control of proteinuria is also an important part of the treatment of edema associated with nephrotic syndrome.
3. Improve kidney function
The kidney is a bean-shaped organ with a filtration function. When filtering blood, excess fluid will be discharged, and food will be stored in the body. For patients with nephrotic syndrome, the kidneys are damaged and can not function normally, which leads to a large number of proteins flowing with urine and excessive fluid content in the body. Thus, improving kidney function is key to patients with nephrotic syndrome for effective treatment of edema. In China, the therapy of purifying toxins from the blood and osmotherapy of micro-Chinese medicine can help you!
