Nephrotic syndrome is a very stubborn chronic disease that poses great harm to the health of patients. Therefore, early detection is crucial. To achieve early detection, it is necessary to understand the diagnostic methods of nephrotic syndrome. So, how to diagnose nephrotic syndrome?
How to diagnose comprehensive nephrotic syndrome? For the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome, patients should first understand the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome: 1. hypoalbuminemia; 2. Massive proteinuria; 3. Different degrees of edema.
For diagnosed nephrotic syndrome, patients can undergo the following tests
Lipid measurement: This is a diagnostic method determined based on the disorder of lipid metabolism and elevation of blood lipids in patients with nephrotic syndrome.
Plasma protein measurement: This is determined by eliminating changes in plasma albumin in nephrotic syndrome. If plasma albumin is below 30g, it is a necessary condition for diagnosis.
24-hour urine protein quantification: In patients with nephrotic syndrome, the 24-hour urine protein quantification exceeds 3. 5g is a necessary condition for diagnosis. Urinary routine examination: By qualitative analysis of urine protein and microscopic examination of urine sediment, it is possible to preliminarily determine whether there is glomerular disease.
Kind reminder: When diagnosing nephrotic syndrome, patients should go to a reputable hospital to avoid delaying treatment, missing the best treatment opportunity, and causing serious harm to the patient.
