I received treatment at the Department of Nephrology of Guangzhou First People's Hospital for chronic glomerulonephritis. Dr. Wang demonstrated a high level of professional expertise and developed a detailed dialysis and medication regimen tailored to my condition. The doctor provided excellent care and patiently answered all my questions regarding dietary restrictions. After two months of treatment, my urine protein levels have significantly decreased, and the edema has essentially resolved. The overall recovery has exceeded my expectations.
