Recently, I have always been "sweating" during sleep, which means I constantly sweat. When I woke up in the morning, the quilt was wet. I heard that it was a manifestation of kidney deficiency. I don't know if it was nephrotic syndrome, so I went online to find out what exactly nephrotic syndrome is? What complications can occur? How to prevent it? Let's take a look at the details.
In the early stage of nephrotic syndrome, the basement membrane lesion is relatively mild, and as the lesion progresses, a large amount of proteinuria is expelled from the body, which is an important cause of decreased plasma protein. The decrease in plasma protein levels, especially the significant decrease in albumin, causes a decrease in plasma colloid osmotic pressure, which promotes the extravasation of fluid from blood vessels, resulting in tissue edema and a decrease in effective blood volume. The mechanism of hyperlipidemia caused by kidney disease is not very clear..
Nephrotic syndrome can cause the following complications:
1. Can cause infections: infection of the suction tract, skin infection, peritonitis, and other infections.
2. Electrolyte disorders: hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia.
3. Thrombosis: Arterial and venous thrombosis is common in renal vein thrombosis, and clinical symptoms include severe pain in the waist and abdomen, hematuria, etc.
4. Acute renal failure
5. Disorder of protein and fat metabolism
Methods for preventing nephrotic syndrome include:
1. Patients should pay attention to rest, especially those with edema and hypertension. Generally, there is no need to strictly restrict activities. Recreational activities should be appropriately arranged according to the condition of the patient to make the child mentally happy.
2. Patients should ensure calories in their diet, and it is advisable to control their protein intake at about 2 g/kg per day. Short-term salt restriction when there is significant edema or hypertension.
3. For patients with severe edema, it is important to avoid intramuscular injection of drugs, which often leads to drug retention, malabsorption, or extravasation of drug solution through needle holes after injection, resulting in local moisture, erosion, or infection. When intramuscular injection is necessary, attention should be paid to strict disinfection, and the pressing time should be slightly longer after the injection to prevent the liquid from leaking out.
4. Observe the changes in edema and record the 24-hour intake and output, daily record abdominal circumference and body weight, and submit for urine routine examination 3 to 4 times a week.
5. Observation of drug efficacy and side effects
The above introduction is about general knowledge of nephrotic syndrome. Through understanding these basic knowledge, we have learned that nephrotic syndrome is a common disease and poses great harm to the human body. Therefore, we hope that everyone can do a good job in prevention.
