Hi, I am Dr Suresh MD , I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. About 80-90% of children respond to steroid therapy within 3 week. The vast majority of children who respond to prednisone therapy do so within the first 5 week of treatment. If child is does not responds to steroids treatment with in 8 weeks, there is need for further work up including renal biopsy . Some authorities considers further work up in case of non responders in 4 weeks. A balanced diet rich in proteins( 2-2.5 gm/kg/day is recommended . Reduction of salt intake is advised . once in remission protein can be reduced to 1.5-2 gm/kg /day, and salt restriction can be stopped . He can continue with eggs. For a menu based diet you can consult a dietician. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions Take care.
