Hi Sir, How can we control nephrotic syndrome. Yeh kis age tak hota hai bacho ko? Meri daughter 16 mnths ki thi jab se start hua h. Urine mai protein 4+ tak jata h. Is it right ki ye 15 years ki age ke baad repeat nahi hota.

Dear Lybrate user. Nephrotic syndrome is quite commonly seen in between 2-8 years and it responds well (almost 90% children go into complete remission or protein in urine becomes nil) to steroids. There is a proportion of children who again start loosing protein in urine but it does respond very well to a repeat course of steroids. A very small proportion of children would need some treatment other then steroids because of poor response to steroids. But for proper consultation would need to physically see the child first.
