Hello
Thanks for query .
The problem of erectile dysfunction that you have is to multiple factors like Nephrotic Syndrome .Thyroid problem and in addition to that mainly due to side effect of steroid being taken for long tine .
Long term use of steroids lead to fall in production of Testosterone which plays important role in sexual libido and erection .
Get your Blood Tests for Serum Testosterone level done .You may need to take Testosterone Depot injection depending upon the serum levels .
Do not take steroid if your Nephrotic syndrome is cured .It will worsen your problem of ED.
