How long it takes for nephrotic syndrome to be cured needs to be judged according to many factors such as the cause of the disease, the age of the patient, the degree of drug tolerance, the severity of the disease and so on, and it is not possible to make a generalization. For patients with secondary nephrotic syndrome, older age, more severe clinical symptoms, hormone treatment is not effective, it usually takes several years or even decades, and the disease is easy to recur, sometimes may not be cured. For patients with primary nephrotic syndrome, younger age, milder condition, and more sensitive to hormone therapy, usually the treatment time is 8~12 weeks, the symptoms may be relieved, but still need to take hormones, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to gradually reduce the dose, and finally need to maintain the treatment with the smallest effective dose for another half a year or so, so it may take about 1 year to be cured. Patients with nephrotic syndrome are advised to go to regular hospitals in time for consultation and standardized treatment under the guidance of doctors.
