Nephrotic Syndrome: Are You Sick of Hormone Side Effects on Your Children

Nephrotic Syndrome can occur at any age among children, but it is most common between the ages of 1.5 and 5 years. It can damage the filters in kidneys thus causing protein in urine. If uncontrolled, it is very likely to progress into Chronic Kidney Disease and finally Renal Failure. Therefore, the parents should have their children treated effectively as early as possible.


Hormone is mainly used to treat Nephrotic Syndrome in children. Mostly, symptoms can relieve after a period of hormone treatment. However, when the dosage of hormone is reduced, the disease is at high risk of relapsing. What’s worse, long-term hormone use has huge side effects on children.


Hormone can suppress the bone growth and cause osteoporosis, which can prevent children’s development and growth. Therefore, many children may have short stature.


The parents may find their children have mental changes. The children are not able to control their own moods. That is because hormone can stimulate the nerves system.


Infections are very commonly seen in children with Nephrotic Syndrome who keep a long-term hormone therapy. Hormone can suppress the immunity. As a result, the virus and bacteria is more likely to invade into the body.
