How long does it take to take medication for nephrotic syndrome?

Patient's question:

Whole body edema Last October, due to whole body edema and 3+ protein in urine, I was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Four typical manifestations of nephrotic syndrome
1. Urine protein greater than 3.5
2. Hypoalbuminemia less than 30
3. Edema
4. Hyperlipidemia
Suggestions: Principles of hormone therapy for nephrotic syndrome
1. Start with an adequate oral dose for 8 weeks, extending to 12 weeks if necessary
2. Slowly reduce the medication: After an adequate dose treatment, reduce 10% of the original amount every two to three weeks
3. Long-term maintenance: Finally, maintain the minimum effective dose of 10mg daily for half a year
Treatment must follow these principles to prevent recurrence.
