Nephrotic Syndrome Treatment & Glomerular Diseases
Comprehensive medical management for childhood proteinuria, periorbital swelling, and glomerulonephritis.
Nephrotic syndrome causes the kidney filtration units (glomeruli) to leak massive amounts of albumin into the urine, resulting in facial puffiness, abdominal swelling (ascites), and low blood protein levels. We specialize in evidence-based steroid induction, steroid-sparing immunosuppressive therapy, home urine monitoring protocols, and relapse prevention.
Common Symptoms & When to Consult
Signs and clinical presentations evaluated by our pediatric team
Diagnostic Workup & Clinical Evaluation
Precision testing protocols avoiding unnecessary invasive tests
Urine Dipstick and spot Urine Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio (UPCR)
Serum Albumin, Total Protein, and Serum Lipid Profile (Hypercholesterolemia)
Kidney function tests (Serum Creatinine, Blood Urea) and serum electrolytes
Complete blood count (CBC) to screen for hemoconcentration and thrombotic risk
Screening for secondary causes and complement levels (C3, C4, ANA, ASOT)
Treatment & Therapeutic Protocols
Evidence-based, child-safe management strategies
Standard international steroid induction therapy (Oral Prednisolone) with planned taper
Comprehensive home urine dipstick albumin testing training for parents
Management of Steroid-Dependent (SDNS) and Frequently Relapsing (FRNS) courses
Judicious introduction of second-line steroid-sparing agents (Levamisole, MMF, Calcineurin inhibitors)
Salt-restricted dietary guidance and judicious diuretic usage to alleviate severe edema
The Pravas Care Guarantee
“Meticulous daily urine dipstick tracking during morning first-void urine allows parents to catch relapses at trace protein levels before significant edema sets in.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Is nephrotic syndrome curable?
Steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome typically goes into remission with treatment. Although relapses can occur in childhood triggered by colds or viral fevers, the vast majority of children outgrow the condition as they enter adolescence without long-term kidney damage.
Can my child attend school during treatment?
Yes, once protein spillage clears and swelling resolves, children can resume normal school and physical activities. Precautions are taken to avoid exposure to active infections while on immunosuppression.
