Patient's question:
Recently, I visited my friend to see her newborn baby. However, during the physical examination, her little baby was unfortunately found to have nephrotic syndrome in children. My friend is very upset and wants to know how to take hormone medication for nephrotic syndrome in children.Doctor's answer:
Take the medication for at least 6-8 weeks, then carefully monitor urine protein and edema, and consider how to increase the dosage. The rate of increasing medication should be very slow. As soon as possible, take one tablet within two weeks and test urine protein. If this occurs again, the rate of increasing medication will be slowed down.Guideline: Do not worry about chronic diseases. Hormones are just one aspect of treating nephrotic syndrome. Pay more attention to rest, avoid overexertion or catching a cold, and adjusting your mood is also important.
