Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of methylprednisolone in the treatment of children with nephrotic syndrome ,and to observe its adverse reaction .Methods 62 cases with primary nephrotic syndrome were randomly divided into the two groups .32 cases in the treatment group were given methylprednisolone combined with prednisone ,30 cases in the control group were given prednisone therapy .Adreno-corticotropic hormone ( ACTH) and cortisol (Cr) in serum were detected by radioimmunoassay (RIA);plasma albumin,urine protein,creatinine,ala-nine aminotransferase ( ALT) ,blood uric acid were measured by conventional laboratory methods;bone mineral densi-ty was measured by bone mineral density machine .Results The curative effect of complete remission and partial remission between the two groups had no significant difference (χ2 =1.56,P>0.05).After treatment for 10 months, the concentrations of ACTH and Cr between the two groups had no significant differences (t=5.45,P>0.05).After treatment,the contents of plasma albumin in the two groups were (36.5 ±5.5)g/L,(36.7 ±5.9)g/L),the contents of urinary protein in the two groups were (1.5 ±1.1)g/24h,(1.6 ±1.5)g/24h.Before treatment,those in the two groups were albumin (25.7 ±3.3)g/L,(26.3 ±3.5)g/L,urinary protein (5.5 ±3.0)g/24h,(5.8 ±3.5)g/24h, the differences were significant (t=11.45,12.15,all P<0.05);The time of urinary protein changed to negative in the treatment group was 6 days,which was significantly shorter than 8 days in the control group ( Log Rank=10.56, P<0.05);The incidence rate of adverse reactions in the treatment group was 40%(13 cases),which was significantly higher than 26.6%(8 cases) in the control group (χ2 =23.11,P<0.05).Conclusion The combined treatment can shorten the time of urinary protein changed to negative ,but during the treatment ,it may increase adverse reactions in children with primary nephrotic syndrome .
