What Is Massive Edema of Nephrotic Syndrome Caused by?

Edema or swelling, is no doubt a very common symptom for patients with Nephrotic Syndrome, which is followed by proteinuria, low fat in blood.
Renal edema usually occurs in the area where the cell tissue is loose and soft. Generally, In the morning when patients with Nephrotic Syndrome get up, edema in eyelids is more serious. Till at noon and in the afternoon, edema in face generally will become more serious, which shows pitting if pressed with a finger and will not spring. However, if there is massive edema or swelling, patients will become anxious and want to treat it at once.
How to treat it? Firstly, we should figure out why edema or swelling comes into being. Renal edema refers to the phenomenon that the discharge of water is blocked, which leads to the retention of water in the body for one of kidney’s function is to filtrate and discharge it. According to the latest cytology, edema is due to the process of renal fibrosis, which leads to the damage of renal intrinsic cells and influence the normal filtration function. Consequently, a large amount of protein in urine appears, which leads to hypoproteinemia. So as for the treatment of edema, we should focus on the repair of damaged renal glomeruli.
In our Hospital, we have had Chinese Medicine, which can repair the damaged intrinsic cells, thus diminishing the massive edema eventually.
