We don't have enough information. Has the urine test been done ? Usually it will show protein in the urine . If it is nephrotic syndrome , in a 8 year old , it will usually respond well to oral steroid tablets . However , the risk of the disease coming back again or requiring steroids for long times is there .
Next Steps
urine examination, urine protein estimation
