Patient's question:

What should be paid attention to when treating nephrotic syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

For the treatment of nephrotic syndrome, corticosteroids are generally required. This medication needs attention—there is a need to take it for eight weeks. If symptoms are well-controlled, it is not advisable to stop immediately. It is important to gradually reduce and eventually discontinue the medication without abrupt cessation. First, careful observation is necessary, and attention should also be paid to the amount of urinary protein in the nephrotic syndrome test.
