Hithanks for posting in ChatDoctorI have understood your concerning nephropathy should be treated otherwise it leads to gradual kidney damage and failure.it should be treated with1.steroids as first line treatment2.immunosuppressive therapy if patient is not responding to steroid sit is controllable, but there is chance for relapse of the disease. I can suggest you to go for steroid treatment. Hope this helps you any further questions please let me know thanks
