Nephrotic Syndrome is not an independent kidney disease but a group of symptoms. It can attack both adults and children. Is prednisone OK for 5-year old child with Nephrotic Syndrome?

Effects of prednisone on children with Nephrotic Syndrome

In fact, most children, with Nephrotic Syndrome, respond to corticosteroid drugs (prednisone, prednisolone) reducing the risk of serious infection. Therefore, it is generally OK for 5 years old child with this kidney disease.

However, they usually have repeat episodes, which are often triggered by viral infections. Based on four studies in children with frequently relapsing Nephrotic Syndrome, prednisone given for five to seven days at the onset of a viral infection reduces the risk of relapse.

Even though prednisone is effective for treating Nephrotic Syndrome, it can have serious side effects.
