hypoalbuminemia and hyperlipidaemia. What is the medical management for NS?
Diuretics
Diuretics is helpful for controlling swelling by increasing the output of
your kidneys’ fluid. The common diuretics include thiazide, loop diuretics and
potassium-sparing diuretics. You can choose the suitable one depending on your
medical condition.

immune system and decrease the inflammation. It conduces to eliminating
proteinuria and hematuria.
Cholesterol-reducing medications
Statins belong to cholesterol-reducing medication. They include rosuvastatin,
simvastatin, lovastatin, atorvastatin and so on.
Hypotensive drugs
ACE inhibitors and ARB are often prescribed by doctors to lower blood
pressure. They can also reduce the amount of protein released in urine as well
as preserving kidney function.
Blood thinners
Blood thinners may also be used to decrease your blood’s ability to clot and
reduce your risk of developing blood clot.
Under normal circumstances, Nephrotic Syndrome symptoms can be under

illness to relapse. To eliminate Nephrotic Syndrome, you have to find
fundamental cause and take corresponding treatment. Only in this way can you
