1. Long-term use of hormone will lead to hypocalcemia and osteoporosis, so children with Nephrotic Syndrome need to be supplemented with rich calcium salt and Vitamin D. Fresh vegetables and fruits are all beneficial to them in order to prevent the loss of calcium and even the fracture.
2. Hormone can increase the content of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood, and can augment the quantity of platelet as well as the density of fibrinogen so the blood will be clotted in a shorter time. Therefore, children with Nephrotic Syndrome need to have more moderate exercise to facilitate the blood circulation.
3. Hormone can have influence on emotion as well as behaviour, and can increase the excitability of central nervous so the children will have strange behaviour due to the abnormal mental status. Therefore, careful nursing should be done for fear of unexpected problems.
4. Hormone cannot be stopped using suddenly. Even when the disease is in its remission period, when children stop taking hormone in a sudden, the disease will very easy to relapse and the condition will be aggravated therewith. So, the adoption of hormone as well as other medicines need to be done under the guidance of doctors, and in general cases, they can not be abandoned abruptly.
When children with Nephrotic Syndrome take hormone and Immunosuppressive agents, they need to drink much water. Every time after taking the medicine, they had better rinse their mouth with warm water to prevent the dental ulcer. Also, infections are the most important thing they must avoid, because the infections lead to relapse easily. In addition, these children can go to school under careful nursing in the remission period of the disease and have mild exercise, but they should avoid too hard working and need to have regular examinations in the hospital.
