Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Prolonged steroid may cause renal dysfunction. You have no other options as steroids are required for Crohn's disease. You can opt newer immunomodulators which are less nephro toxic but cost may be a problem. Your nephrologist will explain in detail.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
