Do you reduce the steroid regimen for patients with acute interstitial nephritis who have a high risk for developing side effects from glucocorticoid therapy?

No, generally not. AIN needs adequate treatment that isn't that long anyway. You could not treat and just stop the offending drug, but the long-term outcome is worse. I think you just need to treat and then taper.
