Low-density lipoprotein apheresis therapy for steroid- and cyclosporine-resistant idiopathic membranous nephropathy.
We herein report three cases of Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in which the patients were resistant to steroid (PSL) and cyclosporine (CyA) therapy. All three patients had a high risk of renal failure because of persistently high levels of proteinuria. We performed low-density lipoprotein apheresis (LDL-A) and achieved complete remission in two cases. The t...
متن کاملRituximab therapy in idiopathic membranous nephropathy: a 2-year study.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It was postulated that in patients with membranous nephropathy (MN), four weekly doses of Rituximab (RTX) would result in more effective B cell depletion, a higher remission rate, and maintaining the same safety profile compared with patients treated with RTX dosed at 1 g every 2 weeks. This hypothesis was supported by previous pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis showing tha...
متن کاملTherapy of tacrolimus combined with corticosteroids in idiopathic membranous nephropathy
We evaluated the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus (TAC) combined with corticosteroids in treating patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). One hundred seventy-seven biopsy-proven IMN patients were recruited in this retrospective clinical study. Sixty patients received TAC (target blood concentration of 4-8 ng/mL) and 117 patients received daily cyclophosphamide (CYC, 100 mg) comb...
متن کاملChapter 7: Idiopathic membranous nephropathy
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of MN is made on kidney biopsy. Diagnostic features include capillary wall thickening, normal cellularity, IgG and C3 along capillary walls on immunofluorescence, and subepithelial deposits on electron microscopy. MN is often seen in association with an underlying disorder (secondary MN). Secondary MN is more common in children (75%) than adults (25%) (Table 12). The di...
متن کاملTreatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy.
Exciting progress recently has been made in our understanding of idiopathic membranous nephropathy, as well as treatment of this disease. Here, we review important advances regarding the pathogenesis of membranous nephropathy. We will also review the current approach to treatment and its limitations and will highlight new therapies that are currently being explored for this disease including Ri...
