How long can you live with nephrotic syndrome?

Nephrotic syndrome is a serious disease, and there are many causes of the disease. For example, if glomerular disease is not treated in time, it can easily lead to the occurrence of nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome can cause patients to have symptoms such as proteinuria, edema, and hyperlipidemia. These symptoms seriously affect the patient's health. Many people want to know how long can patients with nephrotic syndrome live?

Nephrotic syndrome can cause many complications, including infection, blood clots, and even renal failure, as well as disorders in the patient's protein and fat metabolism. What patients are most concerned about is how long can patients with nephrotic syndrome live? What methods can be used to treat nephrotic syndrome?

How long a person with nephrotic syndrome can live depends on the severity of the disease:

When nephrotic syndrome is first diagnosed, the condition is generally not serious. It can be cured and prevented from recurring only by taking active and effective treatment measures. However, if the treatment method is inappropriate, the disease will recur again and again after clinical cure. In this case, it is difficult to say "how many years can a person with nephrotic syndrome live". It is not difficult to see that the most critical point in treating nephrotic syndrome is to prevent recurrence after cure.

How long a person with nephrotic syndrome can live depends on the pathological type of nephrotic syndrome.

There are many pathological morphological types of nephrotic syndrome, mainly diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis, minimal change glomerulonephritis, diffuse membranous proliferative glomerulonephritis, etc. The lesion characteristics are different and the prognosis is also different. For example, minimal change glomerulonephritis is a common primary glomerulonephritis, also known as lipid nephropathy. Generally, hormones are used in combination with traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. If the method is appropriate, the prognosis is good. Diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis is common in adolescents and has a chronic clinical course. In the late stage, 50-70% of patients may die within 10 years and have a poor prognosis. Diffuse membranous proliferative glomerulonephritis generally has a better prognosis.

How long can one live with nephrotic syndrome and how to treat it to prevent recurrence?

At present, many hospitals, especially general hospitals, prefer to use hormones to treat nephrotic syndrome. From the latest pathological point of view, nephrotic syndrome is a series of clinical syndromes caused by damage to the kidney's intrinsic cells under the action of inflammatory response. The conventional hormones used to treat this disease can only play an anti-inflammatory role, controlling the inflammatory response in a short period of time and preventing further damage to the kidney's intrinsic cells. Patients who are sensitive to hormones will achieve negative urine protein within a few days or a month. However, this good condition will be destroyed once the hormones are used up, or the disease will recur when affected by susceptible factors. This is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause.

As for the question of how long a patient with nephrotic syndrome can live, it actually depends on the patient's condition and treatment methods. Therefore, for patients with nephrotic syndrome, we must find a good treatment method and provide them with good daily care in order to prolong their lives and improve their quality of life.
