Brief Answer:
Please send all the records.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

I would like to review all the records plus the treatment history before commenting further. But based on the details provided, it seems like he is having lupus nephritis. Was a kidney biopsy done ?

Yes, there is treatment for this disease but it can be controlled and not cured . Patient has to be on long term treatment once kidney is involved . So I can tell you exactly after I see his reports .

Steroids are the mainstay for this disease and he is rightly on them but since he is a kid dose needs to be adjusted accordingly . Please attach his autoimmune profile also like ANA , ENA profile .

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
