Progress of the treatment of steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome in children / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Primary nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a common kidney disease in children.Around 80% to 90% of children with NS are sensitive to corticosteroid treatment.Most of the children with NS will relapse after the first remission, and 50% to 70% of them will develop frequent relapse or steroid dependence.The main target of treatment is to prevent relapse while minimizing the adverse effects of medications.The progress of the treatment of steroid sensitive NS is reviewed in order to provide evidence for individualized therapy.
