Abstract:
Objective Mizoribine ( MZR) is a new immunosuppressant , however , little domestic research has been done on MZR for treatment of nephrotic syndrome in children .This study was to investigate curative effect and adverse reaction of MZR in the treatment of children with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome , using prospective controlled trials . Methods A total of 59 pa-tients with frequency relapsing nephrotic syndrome were randomly divided into two groups .29 patients of treatment group were treated with MZR +glucocorticoid , while 30 patients of control group were given Tripterygium wilfordii ( TW)+glucocorticoid treatment , and the course of treatment lasted for 12 months.24-hour urine protein, urinary N-acetyl β-glucosidase (NAG), serum albumin, serum cholesterol, serum creatinine, recurrence frequency, and average prednisone dosage were observed . Results At the end of treat-ment, Serum albumin in treatment group was higher than that in control group [(40.95 ±6.12)g/L vs (30.25 ±9.02)g/L], and Se-rum cholesterol ([5.45 ±0.82]mmol/L vs [7.53 ±2.74]mmol/L), urinary protein ([0.89 ±0.52]g/24 h vs [1.63 ±2.02]g/24 h), urinary NAG enzyme ([21.43 ±14.16]U/g· Cr vs [41.67 ±12.35]U/g· Cr) levels were lower compared with control group . There was significant difference between the two groups .In terms of mean recurrence times , no significant difference was found at 6th months of follow-up between the two groups, however, treatment group had lower recurrence rate than control group at 3rd month, 9th month, 12th month of follow-up, which was of significant difference .The average amounts of hormone of treatment group were lower than those of control group ([0.56 ±0.16] mg/kg· d vs [0.72 ± 0.34]mg/kg· d)、([0.64 ±0.35]mg/kg· d vs [0.67 ±0.52]mg/kg· d)、([0.53 ±0.41] mg/kg· d vs [0.83 ±0.37] mg/kg· d)、([0.34 ±0.15] mg/kg· d vs [0.54 ±0.26] mg/kg· d) at 3rd month, 6th month, 9th month, 12th month of follow-up, which was of significant difference . Conclusion Compared to Tripterygium wil-fordii combined with hormone therapy , MZR combined with prednisone therapy in children with recurrent NS frequency can reduce the relapse rate and dosage of corticosteroid to improve the clinical remission rate .
