What should you pay attention to in your life when you have nephrotic syndrome?

Speaking of nephrotic syndrome, many friends may feel unfamiliar with this disease. This is mainly because the harm it brings to the patient's body is too great, and it may even develop into uremia, an incurable disease. Therefore, for patients with nephrotic syndrome, they should not only pay attention to timely treatment, but also do a good job of disease care in daily life. So, what should people with nephrotic syndrome pay attention to in life?

Dietary care: Patients with nephrotic syndrome must pay attention to their diet. They should supplement with adequate protein, increase vitamin intake, eat more fruits and vegetables, and follow dietary requirements according to specific symptoms. Those with edema symptoms should control the amount of water they drink and follow a low-salt diet. Patients with hyperlipidemia and hypoproteinemia should eat more foods containing unsaturated fatty acids.

Life care: Patients with nephrotic syndrome should develop good living habits, ensure adequate and high-quality sleep, do appropriate exercise, but be careful not to overwork, pay attention to weather changes, add or remove clothes in time, and maintain a positive and optimistic mood. A happy mood also has a good auxiliary effect on treatment.

Clinical care: Clinical care for patients with nephrotic syndrome is very important. Patients with severe edema should rest in bed as much as possible and start activities slightly after the symptoms are alleviated. Patients with facial edema should use a higher pillow as much as possible. Patients should pay attention to oral hygiene, especially rinsing their mouths after each meal, and pay attention to maintaining fresh air indoors and ensuring ventilation.

To sum up, you should now know what to pay attention to in life when suffering from nephrotic syndrome. In addition, I would like to remind all friends that it is well known that nephrotic syndrome is difficult to treat. Therefore, during treatment, patients must be mentally prepared to welcome the adjustment of the disease. Only with such a good mentality can they have the confidence to defeat the disease.
