Affects immune syste: Many disease entities cause nephrotic syndrome by causing your body's immune system to attack cells within the kidney. Prednisolone, being a strong anti-inflammatory agent, reduces the intensity of this process and helps in controlling the manifestations of nephrotic syndrome. It is not necessarily a "cure" per se.
