Effect of oral nursing on pharyngeal microecology in patients with recurrent nephrotic syndrome.

Objective To investigate the effect of oral nursing on pharyngeal microecology in patients with recurrent nephrotic syndrome. Methods Seventy-five inpatients with recurrent nephrotic syndrome in our hospital were selected as the recurrent group, while 75 healthy volunteers were enrolled as the control group. In order to investigate the main pathogenic bacteria in the recurrent group, pharyngeal microecology among the recurrent group and the control group were compared. After oral nursing, pharyngeal microecology was examined again in the recurrent group. Results Compared with control group, Candida albicans and B chain bacteria were more common in the recurrent group, which suggested that Candida albicans and B chain bacteria were the main pathogenic bacteria for recurrence. After oral nursing, Candida albicans cann't be detected (P0.001), while the detection rate of B chain bacteria was 1.33% (P0.005), which suggested that oral nursing may decrease pharyngeal pathogenic bacteria in recurrent group. Conclusion Oral nursing may improve pharyngeal microecology and prevent disease recurrence in patients with recurrent nephrotic syndrome.
