How long does it take to get nephrotic syndrome?

Nephrotic syndrome

is a common disease in nephrology. The treatment is mainly the use of hormones and immunosuppressants. The treatment cycle needs to be adjusted according to the condition.

Hormone medication should follow several principles: first, sufficient medication should be given, usually takes 8~12 weeks. At this time, the condition is controlled and basically stable. Hormone can be slowly reduced. During the process of reduction, it is necessary to closely observe the changes in the condition. When the

hormone dosage is less than or equal to 20mg, the reduction speed needs to be further slowed down. Patients are required to return regularly and adjust according to the patient's indicators and overall situation. When the hormone dosage is gradually reduced to the minimum maintenance dose, it needs to be maintained for a long time, usually for about half a year, and some patients may need about a year.

Specific dosage is recommended to be used under the guidance of a doctor.
