Hi, are steroids given to treat ckd. any medicine if one's cretanine goes up along with protein in urine. thanks.

Yes depends on diagn: Steroids help most childhood causes of nephrotic syndrome (heavy protein in urine), but adults are more problematic. Usually kidney biopsy and consultation with nephrologist is necessary to select who will be a candidate for steroids. Requires careful monitoring.
