My son, Mst S. C. J., patient identification number 14526, was suffering from Nephrotic Syndrome since 2.5 years having relapse of the condition, once every 3-4 months, and had around 14 episodes of relapses in last 2.5 years. The relapse generally occurred after an acute infection of cold and cough. During the relapse he would have swelling on the eyes and urine would become pale and would have a protein loss of 4+. He was put on doses of steroids (Omnacortil) however the need for steroids still persisted and it caused side effects like getting swelling all over the body and made him irritable. Within 6 months of starting treatment with Dr Shah, my son has responded very well to the treatment, the episodes of the protein loss reduced and the recurrent infection and recurrent colds also reduced. Within 8 months, now the protein leak is nil, the relapses also reduced and he has no swelling under eyes. The response was so good and consistent that we were able to stop his steroid. No r
