Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Many children with nephrotic syndrome experience at least 1 relapse that is 4+ /3+ proteinuria plus edema , as edema is not present , you can observe for 3-5 days for disappearence of proteinuria ( protein trace or negative for 3 days) ,meanwhile if edema develops he needs to be treated for relapse. Hope proteinuria disappears without leading to relapse. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing your child speedy recovery. • DISCLAIMER: - All the information provided here is for information purpose only , it is not a substitute for the advice of a physician after physical examination , it is not inten+ded to replace your relationship with your doctor.
