Nephrotic syndrome generally does not need to take a lifetime of hormones. The first choice of treatment for nephrotic syndrome is hormone therapy, which is mainly for controlling inflammation and suppressing immune effects, and to a certain extent, it can inhibit the secretion of antidiuretic hormone, so as to achieve the elimination of urinary protein, diuresis and other effects. Although the principle of hormone treatment is to use adequate amount and full course of treatment, some patients with nephrotic syndrome can gradually reduce the dosage until stopping after hormone treatment and their condition is well controlled to achieve the effect of clinical cure. However, some patients with nephrotic syndrome will have a relapse, and then need to use hormone again. It is recommended that patients with nephrotic syndrome go to the hospital in time for treatment under the guidance of doctors and standardize the use of medication, so as to avoid delaying the condition and causing adverse effects.
