Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) is a progressive renal disease characterized by nephrotic triad which includes Proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and edema. Nephrotic syndrome along with its various complications can contribute a drastic decline in quality of life of the patient and financial sufferings. Frequently relapsing and steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome needs more advanced therapeutic strategies to achieve early remission and minimize long-term steroid use. We review a case of a 4-year-old male child with Frequently Relapsing Steroid Dependent Nephrotic Syndrome presented with abdominal distension, facial puffiness, burning micturition and reduced urine output. The child was managed with Prednisolone, Levamisole and finally Mycophenolate mofetil. Mycophenolate mofetil is strong enough to maintain remission and reducing steroid requirement in children with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome but the discontinuation or non-compliance of therapy could lead to relapse. Individual variability towards drug response should be consider here to avoid potential toxicities and treatment failure.
