What are the medications used to treat nephrotic syndrome

The therapeutic drugs for nephrotic syndrome include diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor II antagonists (ARB), hormonal drugs and immunosuppressants. 1. Diuretics: common thiazide diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide, labeled diuretics such as furosemide, etc. can be effective diuretics to reduce swelling and improve symptoms. 2. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor II antagonist (ARB): ACEI and ARB can reduce intraglomerular pressure and directly affect the permeability of glomerular basement membrane to macromolecules, and have the effect of reducing urinary protein that does not depend on lowering systemic blood pressure. 3. Hormonal drugs and immunosuppressants: including glucocorticosteroids such as prednisone and cytotoxic drugs such as cyclophosphamide, which can prevent and stop the occurrence of immune inflammatory response and pathological immune response. Suffering from nephrotic syndrome, patients are advised to seek medical treatment in time and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of doctors.
