Discussion: My attending physician prescribed me prednisone following severe inflammatory symptoms. I felt significant relief when taking the drug, but my kidney pain worsened considerably when I stopped.

Steroids suppress the body's immune response, weakening the pain and symptoms associated with chronic kidney disease. However, long-term use of steroids has a price; above all, they do not lead to a cure for CKD.

Prednisolone is a synthetic corticosteroid hormone that mimics the natural hormone cortisol action, secreted by the adrenal gland when needed. The hormone prednisone suppresses the immune system's activity and thus improves the various inflammatory symptoms. Medicine makes extensive use of steroids in a wide variety of medical conditions. (Autoimmune diseases, cancer, transplant patients, CKD, and a wide range of inflammatory diseases, including COVID-19.) However, steroids have severe side effects from prolonged use. Most importantly - steroids do not cure the disease! They only temporarily suppress the symptoms at the painful cost of sustained damage to the immune system.
