There may be a role of reducing the total steroid doses for the treatment of relapses of nephrotic syndrome in children with milder and more stable disease. The primary objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a low-dose prednisolone regimen with standard therapy for the treatment of relapses in steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) at the end of treatment, the secondary objectives being time to remission and sustained remission after 3 months.
