Diuretics are used in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome primarily to manage edema (swelling) caused by fluid retention, a common symptom of the condition. They help promote the excretion of excess sodium and water, thereby reducing swelling and improving comfort. However, their use must be carefully monitored, as excessive diuresis can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Additionally, diuretics do not address the underlying causes of nephrotic syndrome, so they are often used in conjunction with other therapies aimed at treating the condition.
