Why Is Eyelid Swelling First Noticed in Nephrotic Syndrome Patients
Nephrotic Syndrome is one group of clinical manifestations including swelling, proteinuria, hyperlipemia and hypoproteinemia. In many cases, eyelid swelling is the first sign of Nephrotic Syndrome. What is the reason?
For Nephrotic Syndrome patients, protein leakage is the basic cause of eyelid swelling. A lot of protein leakage leads plasma colloid osmotic pressure to decline, so fluid will enter into tissue spaces from blood vessels. Eyelid is loose, so fluid may retain in this region easily.
The recent research shows fluid and sodium retention plays certain effect in the onset of swelling for Nephrotic Syndrome patients.
According to the above analysis, we can know protein leakage and fluid retention cause eyelid swelling to be first noticed in Nephrotic Syndrome. After finding out the underlying causes, we should adopt effective treatments to manage it.
Today, we are here to give out the following methods to deal with patients’ eyelid swelling.
1. Limit the intake of fluid and sodium
To prevent fluid and sodium from accumulating in the loose tissues, patients had better follow a low-sodium diet plan and control their fluid intake.
2. Eat high-quality protein
High-quality protein can supplement protein to plasma. From this point, patients should eat more high-quality protein. Fish, milk, lean meat and egg white are rich in high-quality protein.
3. Take diuretic if necessary
If patients’ swelling is due to fluid retention, they can take diuretic which can stimulate kidneys to remove more fluid, so as to ease diuretic effectively.
4. Repair kidney filtering structure
A lot of Chinese medicines are proven to be effective on treating impaired kidney cells, and they have fewer side effects compared with western medicines. If you are interested, you can learn what medicines are helpful for you.
A detailed treatment plan should depend on patients’ illness condition. To get an individual treatment plan, you can consult the doctor online or leave a message below.
