Hai.. By what you say he should have had a transient proteinuria or protein loss in urine. 2+ protein in urine alone is not a reason to start steroids or omnacortil. I would like to know if any other tests like cholesterol or renal function tests or serum albumin have been done before starting steroids...his blood pressure check & looking for blood in urine is also important.  Happy to help anytime. If you are happy with my reply, kindly rate it.
