To investigate the best intennittence and reasonable dosage of CDC pulse therapy on different activity degree of lupus nephritis (LN). Methods 96 severe LN cases were divided into three groups. Croup A; CTX pusle treatment (IV-CTX), once 2 weeks, 8- 12 mg'kg'Vd for two days; Group B: IV-CTX once a month, 0.5 - 1.0/m2; Group C: IV-CTX once 3 months, 0.5 - 1.0/m2. Prednisone was given to three groups simultaneously. Results The time taking effect was shorter significantly in Group A than that in Group B and C. Remission rate was higher significantly in Group A than that in Group B and C ( P 0. 05). Intermittence of 15 cases (23.8%) from Group Ek C was changed to once 2 weeks and then the disease activity had been controlled since these patients became worse during the treatment. Intennittence of 3 patients (9% ) from Group A was delayed a week because of the decreasing of WBC counting. There was no significantly difference between three groups in side effect and its incidence. Conclusion A reasonable IV-CTX should be choosen according to the disease activity. IV-CTX 8 - 12 mg'kg'Vd for two days, once 2 weeks should be used for acute and severe LN. When disease becomes mild, IV-CTX can be changed to 0.5 - 1.0/m2, once a month. After LN activity is controlled basically, 0.5- 1.0/m2, once a month is recommended.
