ABSTRACT

A child 5-year-old, was suffering from Renal Affection and was being treated with Allopathic steroid therapy. The child had become uncontrollable due to his aggressive behavior - he was furious, abusive and violent; he would attack other children of all ages; he would even throw stones, or hit with sticks. Steroids had previously been provided to the boy on a regular basis, but their discontinuation had no effect on his behavior.

Key words: Steroid, Behavioural, Renal Affection, Allopathic
