Hi,

Sorry to hear about your medical condition. I'm assuming you are an adult.
Details mentioned here suggest that you were diagnosed to have MCD, 2 years back which is currently under remission after treatment with Tacrolimus and Mycophenolatemofetil. Currently you are only being treated with anti hypertensive medications.

At this stage I would like to ask you if a Kidney Biopsy was done before commenting about the prognosis.

Also currently your disease is under remission and you would require regular followups to rule out a relapse and to look out for complications like Chronic Renal Failure. There is no cure to the disease as such.

I find this answer helpful
