Patient's question:
My mother was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome at the hospital. Since she contracted this disease, her condition has been particularly severe, and it frequently recurs. She is currently taking hormone medication for nephrotic syndrome. Are there side effects of hormone treatment for nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
I heard that the effectiveness of drugs in treating kidney disease is quite good, but long-term use may lead to many side effects. Therefore, patients must be cautious when using hormone drugs and strictly follow the doctor's instructions for medication. This can help reduce the likelihood of these side effects recurring, especially during the tapering-off period. It is crucial to gradually reduce the dosage and avoid abrupt discontinuation. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
