It is impossible to generalize how long it takes to get well from nephrotic syndrome, and the clinic generally speaks of remission, not cure. Hormone-sensitive individuals may be in remission in 6-9 months, but may relapse. Hormone-dependent or hormone-resistant patients may take 1-2 years or more to remit, or even have a prolonged course of the disease. The main clinical manifestations of nephrotic syndrome are massive proteinuria, edema, hypoproteinemia, and hyperlipidemia, which are commonly treated with hormones or immunosuppressants. The specific treatment course is related to the type of pathology, clinical manifestations and drug sensitivity. In hormone-sensitive patients, proteinuria can be relieved more quickly and the whole treatment regimen can be completed in 6-9 months. In addition, relapse of the disease may occur after clinical remission of nephrotic syndrome with the application of drugs. In conclusion, patients with nephrotic syndrome should be treated with the application of relevant drugs under the guidance of doctors in regular hospitals and need to be closely reviewed after clinical remission to prevent infection.
