As I know prednisone not only can not cure chronic kidney disease but also aggravate the state of illness.Please ask your mom that whether she want to try herbs or not.If she want,please leave me the message.

I am currently using prednisone. My advice is for any reason don’t stop immediately, because when you are taking this steroid your body stops producing its own and one needs to slowly-taperingly quit this (please listen to doctors advice) so that the body learns and starts to make its own again to put the complex body to function normally.

Prednisone will create a diabetogenic effect in patients, meaning they will crave more food in general. It doesn't mean one starts binge eating by any means. But it does lead to weight gain overall. If your mother has any diabetic condition then it is important to monitor her blood sugar levels. Given she has a kidney condition, I hope there is a kidney team/clinic checking her kidney function via regular blood testing. All the very best to her! And she will be proud that you care so much for her.
