My son Mst AS was suffering from NS since last many years. He would have repeated episodes of protein loss in the urine and swelling over the face and the body. We had started with steroids for him. The steroids helped in reducing the protein loss in urine but when ever he would have some infection specially throat infection that would again increase the protein loss and his need for steroids increased day by day. This treatment was making Amardeep very irritable and short tempered by nature and he would have relapses with the episodes of protein leak almost every 3 months. With in 5 months of starting the treatment, there was good response and his relapse had also reduced. He had relapse only once in last 6 months. This relapse was very mild in intensity and he had no swelling at all. Thank you. We were able to taper the doses of steroids to almost half of what was given in past and his protein leak was nil, which made us very happy as we were tired of his dependence on steroids. We are very happy to see a cheerful Amardeep again and can't stop thanking Dr Shah for the wonderful treatment.
