I am making two assumptions in answering your question. First, that you do not have Adrenal insufficiency in addition to your Nephrotic Syndrome and second, that 2st means 2 stone which is equal to 28lbs. If you have been able to get off the Prednisone completely, then your weight should return to normal with time. How long it will take to get back to your pretreatment level depends on how long you were on the Prednisone. In general, things do return to normal.
