What to do if you have kidney disease? Daily conditioning to treat nephrotic syndrome

As the name suggests, nephrotic syndrome is a comprehensive symptom caused by multiple kidney diseases, mainly manifested as proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, hypertension, etc. The treatment of kidney disease needs to start from daily life and be adjusted through daily living habits, diet, etc.

1: When the weather is hot and the sun shines for a long time. Female patients with nephrotic syndrome must adapt to the changes in the weather and develop good living habits. It is best to arrange a half-hour lunch break around 1 p.m., so that you can ensure your physical strength and facilitate recovery. There are some harmful rays in the sun, such as r-rays, which can easily harm the human body and cause skin inflammation. Patients with nephrotic syndrome have low immune function, so they should be careful when exposed to sunlight to avoid aggravating their condition due to skin inflammation.

1: There are many varieties of fruits and vegetables, and their color, aroma and taste are appetizing, but patients with nephrotic syndrome should still strictly follow the dietary rules and must not eat too much to avoid increasing the burden on the kidneys. For example, although watermelon can be used as a diuretic, reduce swelling, clear away heat and relieve summer heat, eating too much will cause frequent urination and increase the burden on the kidneys. Furthermore, the accumulation of sugar in watermelon in the body is a potential risk of disease.

2: Some women with nephrotic syndrome like to quench their thirst with ice cream or icy foods. If you do it occasionally, or take it in small amounts multiple times, it is not a taboo. However, if you just want to stay cool, it will not help your condition. Because coldness can damage gastrointestinal function, causing the spleen and stomach to not function properly, it is not beneficial to the condition. If acute enteritis occurs due to greed for coolness, the condition will recur or worsen. Therefore, female patients with nephrotic syndrome should be cautious when drinking cold drinks in summer.

1: Appropriate physical exercise is beneficial to recovery from illness. Such as walking, practicing yoga, etc. But you should pay attention to the time of exercise. Morning and evening are the best times. Do not exercise at noon or when the sun is strong. Although swimming is a good summer sport, it requires a lot of physical strength and the hygiene of swimming venues cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, female patients with nephrotic syndrome are advised not to swim.

2: The hygiene of female patients with nephrotic syndrome should include two aspects: one is food hygiene. Do not eat sour, rotten, or unclean food left overnight to avoid gastrointestinal diseases and affect recovery. Next is personal hygiene. Clothes should be washed and changed frequently. Loose and soft cotton clothes are preferred. Take a bath regularly and clean the skin to avoid infections such as prickly heat and furunculosis which may cause recurrence or aggravation of the disease. Pay attention to killing mosquitoes, flies and other summer insects to prevent their bites and skin infections.

1: The living room of female patients with nephrotic syndrome should be spacious, bright, ventilated and well-ventilated, and a certain temperature should be maintained. The air conditioner should not be set too low. It is best to keep it about 5°C~6°C lower than the outdoor temperature. Otherwise, it is very easy to catch a cold due to the sudden changes in temperature. The bedding should be clean and dry, and the bedroom should have soft lighting and be well ventilated. Because the basal metabolism weakens after falling asleep, the human self-defense function is poor and it is very easy to catch a cold. Therefore, patients with nephrotic syndrome must pay attention to keeping warm and covering the abdomen when sleeping to protect the stomach yang and prevent colds.

1: Emotional discomfort is often an important cause of recurring illness and blood pressure fluctuations. Nephrotic syndrome has a long course. Patients must have the confidence to overcome the disease and skillfully regulate their emotions. For example, entertaining themselves with flowers and birds, calligraphy, reading, and playing chess can all cheer up and promote health. Some patients with nephrotic syndrome have recurring symptoms, and after careful questioning, it is found that it is related to excessive sexual activity. Generally, when the patient is in the recovery stage, blood pressure is normal, and urine tests show no abnormalities, occasional sexual intercourse will not harm health. If you force yourself to have sex when you have severe edema, high blood pressure, or hypoproteinemia, it can be a big threat to stabilizing your condition and may even worsen it. The human body loses a lot of yin essence in summer. If patients with nephrotic syndrome have irregular sexual intercourse, sweat profusely, and lose yin essence, their condition will recur or worsen. Therefore, patients with nephrotic syndrome are advised to abstain from sexual intercourse in summer.

The main clinical features are hypoproteinemia, edema and hypertension. The disease is protracted and often recurs and worsens.
