infect
The biggest fear of kidney disease is the occurrence of infection. Common infections can lead to some complications. A large amount of immunoglobulin is lost in urine of patients with nephrotic syndrome, which reduces plasma protein and affects antibody formation. Combined use of adrenocortical drugs, patients' resistance decreases, and they are prone to infection, such as respiratory tract infection, skin infection, urinary tract infection and primary peritonitis. It can also induce severe sepsis.
Acute renal failure
When kidney disease occurs, it is not only the condition, but also other diseases. Due to hypoproteinemia, massive proteinuria and hyperlipidemia, patients with nephrotic syndrome often have hypovolemia and hypercoagulability. Diarrhea, vomiting and the use of antihypertensive drugs and diuretics will all lead to a sudden decrease in renal blood perfusion, thus reducing glomerular filtration rate and possibly inducing acute renal failure.
coronary heart disease
Be careful of heart disease when you have kidney disease. Sometimes kidney disease can make patients worse. Patients with nephrotic syndrome are often accompanied by hyperlipidemia and hypercoagulability, so it is easy to cause coronary heart disease. Data show that the incidence of myocardial infarction in patients with nephrotic syndrome is 8 times higher than that in normal people. Coronary heart disease has become the third death factor of nephrotic syndrome after infection and renal failure.
thrombopoiesis
Patients with nephrotic syndrome are prone to thrombosis, especially the incidence of membranous nephropathy can reach 25%~40%. The causes of thrombosis are hyperlipidemia, edema, venous congestion, patient inactivity, hypercoagulable state of blood and high fibrinogen content caused by adrenocortical hormone use.
First, treat nephrotic syndrome according to the cause.
1. Nephrotic syndrome occurs because the functional cells in patients' kidneys are damaged due to long-term ischemia and hypoxia, the filtration pore size of glomerular basement membrane increases, and substances such as protein and red blood cells leak from urine. The external manifestations of patients are proteinuria, hematuria and other diseases.
2. Only by grasping the root causes and symptoms of the disease and treating nephrotic syndrome can we effectively control protein leakage and hematuria and gradually recover the disease.
Second, treat the complications of nephrotic syndrome, such as edema and dyslipidemia.
1. For the treatment of symptoms, western medicine has its advantages in this respect, among which hormone drugs can alleviate the leakage of urine protein in patients with nephrotic syndrome in a short time and reduce the problems of hypoproteinemia caused by a large amount of proteinuria. The application of diuretics can quickly relieve the edema symptoms of patients with nephrotic syndrome.
2. When taking medicine for treatment, drugs with little damage to the kidney are preferred. For patients with severe renal disease, the combined application of clinical hormones and immunosuppressants can minimize the side effects of drugs and make the synergistic effect between drugs more conducive to the treatment of diseases.
What are the treatment methods of nephrotic syndrome? When kidney disease occurs, we should be fully prepared. This disease is difficult to treat and often takes a long time to treat. A healthy and positive attitude towards life will also help patients recover in time. If you still have questions about nephrotic syndrome, you can also consult our online experts.
