Abstract:
Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoids+cyclophosphamide+tacrolimus capsules (GC+CTX+FK506) in the treatment of patients with type Ⅲ+V and Ⅳ+Vlupus nephritis. Methods The 31 cases with first diagnosis as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with type Ⅲ+V and Ⅳ+Vlupus nephritis (LN) were selected, then divided into group A (CTX+GC) with 16 cases and group B (FK506+CTX+GC) with 15 cases. The group A received CTX+GC during treatment, group B received GC+CTX+FK506 for the first three months, and received FK506+GC for the last three months. The patients were followed up once monthly to observe the efficacy and safety,the efficacy was analysed after 6 months. Results After treatment, the total efficacy in group B was significantly higher than group A (86.7%vs.50.0%, P<0.05). The 24 h urine protein of group B was lower than group A(P<0.05). The plasma albumin of group B was higher than group A (P<0.05). After treatment, the systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) in two groups were lower and C3 level was higher than those pre-treatment(P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in above indicators between two groups. There was one case menelipsis in group A, and one case with transient increasing of creatinine. Conclusion The FK506+CTX+GC could reduce urine protein sifnificantly compared with CTX+GC without serious adverse reaction.
