Poor appetite
Swelling (especially around the eyes, feet, and ankles, and in the abdomen)
Weight gain (from fluid retention)
Minimal change disease does not reduce the amount of urine produced. It rarely progresses to kidney failure.
What are the treatment of Minimal Change Disease
Corticosteroids can cure minimal change disease in most children. Some patients may need to stay on steroids to keep the disease in remission. Because adults do not respond to steroids as well as children, but many still find steroids effective. Adults may have more frequent relapses and become dependent on steroids.
Patients who have three or more relapses may do better with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which can solve the kidney problem without make further damage to the kidneys. So it is also good for children.
