Although minimal-change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) is highly steroid-responsive, the frequency of relapses in some patients is high, necessitating the administration of repeated courses of prednisolone in high doses. It is, therefore, necessary to identify factors that can predict this increased risk of relapse in some patients in order to establish useful treatment methods to reduce the risk.
