10. Treatment
Treating nephrotic syndrome generally involves treating the underlying cause of the condition, if one has been identified. This can mean treatment for infections, diabetes, inflammation, and autoimmune conditions to mention a few. In many cases, the patient will also need to make changes in their lifestyle choices to help control the condition as much as possible.
Other medications can be used to help treat the symptoms of the condition. This can mean medication to reduce blood pressure, regulate kidney function, reducing cholesterol, and preventing blood clots. Overall the condition can usually be managed and the patient should hopefully avoid serious complications.
