The child receiving steroids for the treatment of primary nephrotic syndrome is considered in remission when the urine is 0 to trace for protein for 5 to 7 days.

The absence of proteinuria for 2 consecutive weeks indicates a continued remission. The presence or absence of hematuria is not used to determine remission in primary nephrotic syndrome.
