Treatment of steroid-resistant pediatric nephrotic syndrome
Children who suffer from steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) require aggressive treatment to achieve remission. When intravenous high-dose methylprednisolone fails, calcineurin inhibitors, such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus, are used as the first line of treatment. A significant number of patients with SRNS progress to end-stage renal disease if remission is not achieved. For these chi...

While the majority of children respond to corticosteroid therapy, a few do not enter remission after daily therapy for 1-2 months, hence showing steroid-resistance. Most of these children show focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) upon renal biopsy. Steroid resis...

متن کاملChildren with Steroid-resistant Nephrotic Syndrome: a Single-Center Study
Background and Aim: Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) accounts for 10%-20% of all cases of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. These patients are at risk of developing end-stage renal disease. The aim of this study was to determine the demographic characteristics, renal biopsy findings, response to immunosuppressive treatment, and prognosis in pediatric patients with SRNS.Materials and Met...
متن کاملTreatment with Cyclophosphamide for steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in children.
The management of patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome remains difficult. We repport our experience with Cyclophosphamide therapy, in an attempt to compare the results between an oral protocol and two i.v. protocols. The complete and sustained general remission rate was 43.1%, which confirms the efficacy of the treatment, especially for children with minimal change nephrotic syndr...
