Feedback A The absence of casts in the urine gives no indication about the child's response to treatment. The child with primary nephrotic syndrome is considered to be in remission when the urine is negative for protein for 5 to 7 consecutive days. B The child receiving steroids for the treatment of primary nephrotic syndrome is considered in remission when the urine is up to trace for protein for 5 to 7 days. C Remission is achieved when the urine is negative for protein for 5 to 7 consecutive days. It is not unusual for glucose to test positive if the child is taking prednisone. D The presence or absence of hematuria is not used to determine remission in primary nephrotic syndrome. |
