[|Human|] Hi, My Child has 2.2 years old and he suffered with the Nephortic syndrom ( high proteins passing through urine). When we met with the doctor, he suggested to give the omnocortil syrup to my child.Once we started the medicine, He became fat , rounded face and very hungry. Now he has 2.6 years old and we stopped the medicine after decreasing the dosage. Now he is looks good. But I would like to know is there any problem for his future growth?. Kindly please provide you inputs on this and also please let me know the Pediatric Nephrologist doctors specifically for childrens in Guntur or nearest city. Thanks, Srinivasarao
[|AI|]  HiT hanks for the query. Nephrotic syn Chat Doctor. If it recurs, the child will need another course of steroids (omnacortil). Unfortunately omnacortil can cause multiple problems, some of which you have listed. If used for prolonged periods steroids can also impair the height.Thus, if there are frequent relapses the nephrologist may consider another medication and/or a kidney biopsy. Hope this helps Good luck.
