Low dose prednisolone in nephrotic syndrome.
Sixteen patients with steroid responsive nephrotic syndrome were treated on 29 separate occasions with a low dose of prednisolone (30 mg/m2/day). All went into remission within 14 days. The duration of remission in the six patients who had had previous relapses treated with a higher dose of prednisolone was similar.
