First-line treatments
Renal disease management
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Immunosuppressive therapy
For steroid-resistant cases, immunosuppressants like calcineurin inhibitors or alkylating agents may be prescribed to induce remission. These medications suppress the immune system activity driving kidney damage.
Protein-modified diet
Moderate protein restriction with high-quality protein sources may help reduce proteinuria while maintaining adequate nutrition. Dietary counseling is essential for optimal outcomes.
Additional treatment options
Diuretic therapy
Thiazide or loop diuretics help manage the significant edema characteristic of nephrotic syndrome. Dosing may need adjustment based on kidney function and electrolyte status.
medicationAntihypertensive management
Blood pressure control using ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or calcium channel blockers protects kidney function and reduces cardiovascular risk associated with nephrotic syndrome.
medicationProteinuria quantification
Regular urine protein testing through spot protein-to-creatinine ratio or 24-hour urine collection guides treatment decisions and monitors disease activity.
