Hi Sir, my 3years old child is a patient of nephrptic syndrome. his first episode was completed in jan 2013 and after complete treatment he had first relapse in June 2013. he took proper doses of tablet delta cartile, when he comes on 1 tablet dose every alternate day, his albumin again comes on (+++), i took him to the doctor who advised for 3 tablets every alternate day, but depite taking this dose, his position is same and also has swelling on his eyes, his weight is 15.5 kg. nowadays he is also suffering with Cold. plz guide me.regards
Dear Mam, If he has so much proteinuria, its evident that he has low serum albumin (protein) levels, leading to swelling around eyes (periorbital edema). Steroids are also used for treatment of Nephrotic syn Chat Doctor. Taking Steroids can lower down the immunity, leading to various infections. I suppose, you should discuss in detail and send us the reports, and you should consult a nephrologist. Wish your child a speedy recovery
