Protein In Urine - 3 Yr Old - Treatment Options... Posted: 08-16-07 11:50am
Hi,
My son is 3 yr old and during a normal
examination of urine, protein was found.
Its been 3 weeks and protein is
consistently present during repetitive
examinations.
We are seeing a Kidney Nephrologist and he
has asked for few more tests and if his
diagnosis is confirmed, he will start
medication - steroids and all.
I am kind of worried because of
side-effects; however I know that if there
are no options, we will have to go for
such medications only.
Specifically I have two questions to this
forum, if anyone can direct me - that
would be of great help.
1) Are there medical facilities available
(here in US) which can review all the
available reports and suggests that the
medication that is going to start is fine?
Kind of Second Opinion?
2) Are there any alternative (proven)
therapy for this - using which we can
avoid giving steroids to such a small
kid?
Thanks a lot; looking for a speedy reply
from the forum.
