 This research found that certain clinical characteristics could help identify children with steroid-dependent nephrodic syndrome earlier on in their treatment. These characteristics include a higher cumulative steroid dose in the first six months of treatment and requiring more than 20 days to achieve initial remission. Additionally, these children also had a higher rate of relapse when exposed to upper respiratory tract infections.
