Hi Lybrate user. As per your details you seem to have nephrotic syndrome. The primary treatment depends on the biopsy findings. The treatment is not very costly and just requires a good follow up with a nephrologist. Dietary precautions are mainly salt and water restriction. Normal protein intake is recommended, but you need to avoid red meat and fatty food. And most of all don?t be scared, just follow your nephrologist advise.
