What is nephrotic syndrome

summary

For nephrotic syndrome, we need to do a good job in the normal time to understand the relevant work, so that when we encounter this disease, we will understand it. Let's talk about what nephrotic syndrome is.

What is nephrotic syndrome

First, nephrotic syndrome is caused by a variety of causes, with increased glomerular basement membrane permeability and decreased glomerular filtration rate and other glomerular lesions.

Second, nephrotic syndrome is characterized by massive proteinuria (24-hour urine protein is more than 3.5G), serum albumin < 30g / L, hyperlipidemia and edema. The first two are the most typical. There are two types of secondary nephrotic syndrome: primary nephrotic syndrome and secondary nephrotic syndrome, Circulatory system diseases, drug poisoning, etc.

Third, keep the skin clean and dry, avoid abrasion and pressure, turn over regularly. The bedding should be soft. The buttocks and limbs can be padded with rubber air cushion or cotton ring, and the air cushion bed can be used if possible. The edema scrotum can be lifted up with cotton pad or sling, and the skin rupture should be covered with disinfection dressing to prevent infection.

matters needing attention

In nephrotic syndrome, bed rest should be given priority to. Bed rest can increase renal blood flow, facilitate diuresis, and reduce contact with the outside world to prevent cross infection. However, moderate bed and bedside activities should be maintained to prevent limb vascular thrombosis. When nephrotic syndrome is relieved, activity can be gradually increased, which is conducive to reducing complications and lowering blood lipid.
