Lifestyle and home remedies

Changes to your diet might help with nephrotic syndrome. Your doctor might refer you to a dietitian, who might recommend that you do the following:

• Choose lean sources of protein. Plant-based protein is helpful in kidney disease.
• Reduce the amount of fat and cholesterol in your diet to help control your blood cholesterol levels.
• Eat a low-salt diet to help control swelling.
• Reduce the amount of liquid in your diet.
