Nephrotic syndrome, referred to as "nephro syndrome," is a group of syndromes caused by various etiologies, mainly characterized by increased glomerular basement membrane permeability and reduced glomerular filtration rate. The typical manifestations of nephrotic syndrome include massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, severe edema, and hyperlipidemia. This condition falls under the categories of "edema," "consumptive disease," and "back pain" in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is believed that symptoms such as edema and proteinuria are due to the disorder of the distribution of water essence, with the lung, spleen, and kidney being the main organs involved in this process. The lung is the site where the disorder is apparent, the spleen is where the control lies, and the kidney is the root of the issue.

It is recommended to perform moxibustion once a day, targeting 2 to 3 acupoints each time, with each acupoint being treated for 30 to 40 minutes. Rotate the points treated, with a 10-day period constituting one course of treatment, and then rest for 2 to 3 days before continuing with the next course. (If time permits and there is a need, more acupoints can be treated with moxibustion. The specific duration should be adjusted according to one's own physical needs.)
