Question Category : Nephrotic syndrome
Our Daughter, now 2 and a half, was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome about 4 months ago. Since, she has not been off of orapred. She has relapsed 3 times now. Is this normal to relapse so often? All that it takes is a cold. Is this something that we should just accept, that because of her age, and being more suseptable to colds, etc., that she is going to continue to relapse? Can being on the orapred so much cause damage to her? We feel overwhelmed because there is no way to "control" it. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you. Check Out the Answer
