Complications and side effects of glucocorticoid treatment in children with glomerulonephritis
For 10 years, we observed 280 children with nephrotic and mixed forms of glomerulonephritis treated in the uroonephrological department of the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital of the BASSR Ministry of Health. Patients were prescribed prednisolone at a rate of 1.5-2 mg, rarely 2.5 mg per kg of weight per day for 3-4 weeks with gradual reduction of the dose by 5 mg every 5-7 days and transferring them further, to an intermittent course of treatment at a dose of 10-20 mg per day depending on age.
