If having urine protein and edema simultaneously, which one is needed to treat first?

You need to deal with edema first!
The reasons are as follows:
First, edema can cause heart failure and pulmonary edema.

Second, patients with nephropathy have basically used western medicine hormone therapy, and while the hormone is dealing with the disease, it also causes water and sodium retention, which further aggravates the appearance of edema. And treat urine protein later, the edema will be more severe.
So how do you eliminate the high edema?
The diuretic.
The single use of diuretics really can realize the purpose of the drainage detumescence, but relatively low plasma albumin in patients with renal edema. Colloid osmotic pressure imbalance has occurred, the moisture inside the blood vessels will be much less, leading to the normal diuretic effect very difficult to play.
The choice of high - quality protein diet to increase the plasma albumin method. It takes too long to deal with edema!
So the best way to edema is to enter the artificial protein.
The input of artificial protein is not to supplement the plasma protein required by the body, but to balance the colloid osmotic pressure, and then use diuretics to achieve the purpose of eliminating edema.
At this point, be careful to review the electrolyte because diuresis may cause problems with electrolyte imbalances.
