The following steps include routine follow-up with a nephrologist, evaluating urine protein, kidney function, blood pressure, and medication side effects, and modifying dosages as necessary because you have chronic nephrotic syndrome while taking prednisolone and mycophenolate. Your doctor might think about alternate steroid-sparing choices if side effects arise or relapses persist.
