Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Uologist, i can understand your anxiety.
Marijuana can never cure nephrotic syndrome.
You're advised to best discontinue it's use further.
A remssion means, a temporary period or phase of improvement in symptoms.
it may relapse again at any time. That's not a fixed period.
You can remain in remission for a longer time,if you discontinue marijuana.
Wish you well.
