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

naltrexone

I, RP, 13794, from Vadodara, India My son was suffering from Nephrotic Syndrome(Steroid Dependent) since last the 4 years, biopsy was done and showed Minimal Change Disease, urine showed albumin 3 +. He was started on steroids and due to repeated episodes of recurrent throat infection; he would frequently have protein loss in the urine. Due to these repeated episodes he would have severe urine retention presenting with severe swelling all over the face and weight gain and generalized tiredness. His case had gradually become steroid dependent where the requirement for Omnacortil couldn’t be reduced beyond 5 mg. Within 1 year of starting the treatment, there is significant reduction in the severity and intensity of the nephrotic syndrome. The swelling over the face reduced and there is no protein leak in the urine. The intensity of the recurrent throat infection also reduced. During the course of treatment the dosage of steroids was reduced from 40 mg daily to 5 mg alternate days and now under a medical supervision it has been stopped completely.
