Nephrotic Syndrome is one common kidney disorder in which kidney filtration membrane is damaged. When kidneys are unable to eliminate extra fluid and sodium. Then, patients need to take some therapies to remove extra fluid and sodium and repair damaged kidney filtration membrane. According to these requirements, we would like to recommend the following therapies.
- Drink correct amount of water and follow a low-sodium diet plan
For patients with Nephrotic Syndrome, it is necessary to limit their fluid intake and follow a low-sodium diet plan. This can help manage fluid retention and reduce the burden on kidneys. Besides, patients should also pay attention to protein intake and high-quality protein supplement. This can help increase plasma protein osmotic colloid pressure.

In clinic, some medicines can stimulate kidneys to produce more urine, taking away more waste products, fluid and toxins. Diuretic is one common medicine that can help ease swelling or fluid retention easily.
- Dialysis
In severe cases, patients may be suggested to do dialysis. Dialysis is one effective therapy to remove extra fluid from the body. Also, patients can also take some alternative therapies such as plasma exchange, immune adsorption, hemofiltration, and so on.
