In the process of treating kidney disease, many drugs play a crucial role, and the complete cure of nephrotic syndrome cannot be achieved without appropriate drugs. Below, we will introduce the widely used drugs in clinical practice that are very effective in treating nephrotic syndrome.
1. Immunosuppressants.
Although immunosuppressants have certain negative health effects in clinical practice, they do play an irreplaceable and important role in the cure of nephrotic syndrome. At present, cases with poor hormone therapy or significant side effects can be treated with immunosuppressive agents in combination, commonly used including vincristine, Tripterygium wilfordii glycosides, cyclophosphamide, and thiazole; Cyclosporin A, etc. Through the treatment of immunosuppressants, both hormones and immunosuppressants have a certain impact on sexual function. Long term and high-dose use of corticosteroids such as prednisone can exacerbate sexual dysfunction. Almost all immune preparations can cause testicular atrophy and ovarian damage, leading to decreased or disappeared spermatogenic function, loss of libido, and impotence.
2. Diuretics.
Diuretics have a crucial positive effect on effectively promoting the normal excretion of toxins in patients' bodies, and are crucial for the smooth recovery of patients with nephrotic syndrome. Generally, cases sensitive to hormone therapy may experience diuresis after 7-10 days of medication, and there is no need to use diuretics. Diuretics can be used in case of severe edema. Furosemide (furosemide) is usually used for intravenous administration. It is better to infuse low molecular dextran first, which can often produce good diuretic effect.
Both types of drugs mentioned above have significant effects on alleviating the health damage caused by nephrotic syndrome. Therefore, patients must choose effective drugs based on their own condition during their daily treatment to ensure the rapid eradication of nephrotic syndrome.
