A 6-years-old cute little girl Miss. R. D. (Patient Identification Number - 29116) visited Life Force Pune paud branch on 28th June 2016 with her parents. She was suffering from the complaints of nephrotic syndrome. She had the first episode before 2 years and the second was in April 2016. The episode used to start with swelling on the face, swelling around the eyes, and severe cough and cold. Both these episodes were managed by oral steroid courses.

From June 2016, she again suffered protein loss in her urine and the urine report indicated 2+ protein loss. There were no symptoms of any swelling. This time her parents decided to resort to the gentle healing of homeopathy for a permanent solution.
