With urine protein 3+, occult blood 3+, swelling and plasma-albumin 28.9g/L, the result of renal biopsy shows that Ms Yong is diagnosed with primary Nephrotic Syndrome and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
At the beginning, Ms Yong chooses a famous military hospital for treatment. In the hospital, the doctors give him Hydroprednisone injection and other medications. After two months of treatment, her swelling disappears. However, routine urine test shows that her urine protein is still 3+ and occult blood is 3+. Treatment plan is changed. Prednisone acetate tablets and Cyclophosphamide for injection is applied for her.
In December 2014, her report shows that urine protein is 2+ and occult blood is 2+. There is little therapeutic effect after half of month treatment. Ms Yong stopped taking steroids by herself and began to take oral Chinese Medicine. After three months, urine protein and occult blood are still 3+. Swelling is worsening. Her body weight adds 20 kilograms.
Treatment in a specialized kidney disease hospital
In China, there is a specialized kidney disease hospital-called Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. Admission examination shows that 24-hour urinary protein quantity is as high as 16.04g and plasma-albumin is 19.4g/L. The doctor thinks that it is very important to control urine protein first to prevent further decrease of albumin.
10 days later, 24-hour urine protein quantity decreases to 5.51g. The patient feels energetic and makes a cross-stitch.
Besides, the doctors in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital also tell the patients how kidney disease occurs and why steroids have little therapeutic effect. More and more patients regard this hospital as a best hospital for kidney disease.
