It depends: It really depends on the specific kidney issue that is causing the proteinuria. There are many options depending on the biopsy results and the clinical evaluation. Speak with your nephrologist.

Use of Acthar: Acthar (a) works to reduce the amount of proteinuria (p) to a more normal level. Studies have shown that a has lowered p in patients not responding to steroids, suggesting that a works differently in your kidneys than steroids. For patients whose p is not well controlled, a is a viable treatment option in certain patients. There is no other good drug as good as a for p in nephrotic syndrome.
