Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of cyclosporine A plus prednisone in the treatment of refractory nephrotic syndrome in children.Methods The 26 refractory nephrotic syndrome children were treated with CsA plus prednisone,3 ～6 mg/(kg d),Po.The duration of treatment was 3 to 27 months (12.69 ± 6.44) mos.The 24 h quantitative urinary proteins,serum cholesterol,urea nitrogen,plasma creatinine,N-acetyl beta amino glycosidase enzymes cystatin C were detected before and after treatment,and the adverse drug reactions were accessed.Results Among 26 cases,12 cases of steroid-resistant NS,6 cases of steroid-dependent NS,and 8 cases of frequent relapse NS were included.16 patients (61.54％) were complete remission,8 patients (30.77％) partial remission,2 cases (7.69％) were non-remission,The total remission rate was 92.31％.The 24 hours urine protein was 3.01 g and 0.63 g before treatment and after treatment,respectively,with a statistically significant difference (P ＜0.01); serum cholesterol was (7.72 ± 3.86) mmol/L and (7.15 ± 3.23) mmol/L; nitrogen urea was (3.93 ± 1.44) mmol/L and (4.04 ± 1.27) mmol/L,creatinine (33.38 ± 13.16) μmol/L and (35.64 ± 3.53) μmol/L serum N-acetyl beta amino glycosidase enzymes was (18.96 ±4.86) u/L and (20.45 ±5.85)u/L before treatment and after treatment,respectively,without a statistically significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The response to CsA was no significant difference in SRNS,SDNS and FRNS.Children complete remission,follow-up to 6 months,9 months,12 months and 18 months of the recurrence rate was 37.5％,31.25％,18.75％ and 12.5％.Eight cases ended treatment 3 ～ 6 months,all cases were not recurrence.The main adverse effects of CsA included hirsutism,tremble,gastrointestinal reaction and so on,and liver kidney toxicity was not obvious during the therapy course.Conclusions The treatment of CsA in combination with prednisone to children refractory nephrotic syndrome had a significant curative effect,which could obviously minimize the dosage of glucocorticoids and reduce the recurrence after at least one year of maintenance treatment of CsA.
