Abstract/OtherAbstract:
MLNS is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in childhood and has a very good prognosis. Other histologic types have a varying prognosis. Corticosteroid treatment induces a remission in the majority of patients with nephrotic syndrome. Every effort should be made to reduce the total dose of corticosteroid so as to minimize the potential for corticosteroid-induced side effects.
