Many patients with nephrotic syndrome, although treated for a period of time, have not achieved particularly significant results. What is the reason for this? This phenomenon often exacerbates the psychological burden on patients, believing that their illness is difficult to treat. The main factors affecting the treatment of nephrotic syndrome are as follows:
1. Disease situation
Some patients with renal syndrome have special physical conditions and other complications. For example, in patients with nephrotic syndrome complicated with liver diseases (such as hepatitis B), cytotoxic drugs should not be used, which is difficult to deal with, and different children will have different reactions to drugs. For example, some children are not sensitive to hormones (hormone therapy is ineffective for some nephrotic syndrome patients). The other organs of the child are affected or whether they are adapted to the most effective medication.
2. Treatment methods
The relevant treatment methods determine the success or failure of treatment, so the requirements for doctors and hospitals are relatively high. Currently, most of the treatments used are hormone therapy. Hormone therapy has the drawback of "treating the symptoms but not the root cause". Although it can alleviate the condition in a short period of time, patients are prone to relapse due to factors such as colds, fatigue, and infections. The cure rate for nephrotic syndrome is very low. For better treatment, the key to a high cure rate lies in targeted treatment.
From this, it can be seen that the main factors affecting the treatment of nephrotic syndrome are the condition of the disease and related treatment methods. If doctors have a clear understanding of the patient's disease and have corresponding targeted treatment methods, the patient's symptoms can gradually disappear and the body will gradually return to normal levels.
