Can mercury poisoning lead to Nephrotic Syndrome? Yes. Every lady hopes to be
more beautiful and attractive, which makes them spend time and money on
cosmetics and making up. However, the market in cosmetics is not so much in
order and the beauty product is hard to be distinguished whether it will do harm
to the body. If we are not cautious, we will make wrong choice and bring harm to
our body. Here is an example which tells how cosmetics lead to Nephrotic
Syndrome.
Miss Wang is an officer who is healthy all the time. She is beautiful and
also is fond of making up. In 2012, April, 2th, she had swelling in her eyelids
and face all of a sudden, which also frightened her. She went to hospital and to
her surprise, she was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome! Why? In her blood test,
doctor told her that the level of mercury is far out of normal range, which is
17 times as high as that of the normal range.
Doctors also point out that we should pay more attention to the cosmetics we
are using. If we are working in a chemical factory, it is necessary for us to do
blood test in hospital so as to know whether we are healthy and if not, we can
take therapeutic measures in time.
Besides these, other factors can also lead to Nephrotic Syndrome.
