In daily life, timely treatment of nephrotic syndrome can help patients avoid severe health damage and torment. However, many patients may experience relapse after treatment, so it is crucial to ensure the efficacy of nephrotic syndrome and prevent recurrence. So how to ensure the efficacy of nephrotic syndrome?
The first step is for patients to identify their specific condition and cooperate with the doctor's treatment when they discover signs of nephrotic syndrome. Conditional individuals can undergo kidney biopsy to determine the nature of the disease at the cellular structure level, and then develop targeted individualized treatment plans.
The second step is that the patient should follow the doctor's advice to take medication during the treatment period and cannot make any decisions on their own. When taking medication, it must be taken according to the dosage and the medication cycle must reach the prescribed course of treatment by the doctor; Regularly follow up at the outpatient clinic and adjust medication according to the doctor's advice. Especially for patients taking steroids, when prednisone is reduced to 20-25 milligrams per day, there is a greater chance of recurrence of the condition. Don't panic after a recurrence, contact a doctor quickly, and adjust the plan according to the condition, often you can regain relief.
The third step is for patients to actively avoid risk factors such as infection that may interfere with the consolidation of therapeutic effects, otherwise recurrence may occur frequently. From the statistical analysis of the inducing factors for recurrence, colds are the most important inducing factor. A large amount of protein in the blood of patients with nephrotic syndrome is lost from urine, and the lost substances include important components that constitute our immune defense line, such as immunoglobulins, complement, etc. At the same time, the function of white blood cells in the body decreases, and trace elements such as zinc are also lost. These seriously weaken the body's ability to resist external pathogenic factors.
Through the active application of these methods, patients with nephrotic syndrome can effectively consolidate their therapeutic effects, ensure their own treatment effectiveness, avoid the risk of disease recurrence, and have great positive significance in effectively removing the health damage caused by nephrotic syndrome.
