Hi,
The nephrotic syndrome is a kind of kidney swelling which basically dilates the filtration pores of the tubes hence body will in turn loose essential protein from blood in addition to the urine (waste products), now its very important to deal with the kidney swelling issues first and the steroids are the best medication for that swelling problems.
Steroids are the hormones that are produced by human body in required proportion and helps in various metabolic needs, but giving them from outside source as in your case will lead to some side effects like weight gain, but side effects are not so bad as compare to loosing the kidney.
Their is no way to remove the excess steroids form body, once your treatment is done and your kidney is back to normal, you can deal with excess weight by exercise and diet modification.
Hope it helps.
