A member asked:

What is the dose and duration of treatment with prednisolone in the management of nephrotic syndrome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Variable by case: Only your doctor can determine the type and duration of treatment. Followup studies are needed to monitor progress. Often the dose can be tapered after the urine protein loss declines and other factors normalize, but all depends on your individual response to therapy.
