HI  well i have a thyroid problem but when i am pregnant is in normal range and i developed nephrotic syndrome with SLE TYPE DOCTOR ADVICED ME TO TAKE STERIODS FOR A PERIOD TIME. BUT AFTER CONCEIVING, ALSO I AM IN THE SLE TREATMENT .HOW LONG I HAVE TO CONTINUE MY TRATMENT? THROUGHOUT MY LIFE TIME?
There is no proven data in SHE related Nephritis about duration of treatment. But common practice of experienced nephrologists is to continue treatment for a minimum of 5 years and if patient is doing well, will stop treatment by 5-10 years. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
