Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week steroid treatment works as well as the standard 24-week course for adults having their first episode of steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome, a kidney condition causing protein leakage and swelling. About 224 participants will be randomly assigned to either the short or long treatment. The main goal is to see if the shorter course reduces the time until the disease comes back.
