To investigate the effect of leflunomide for treatment of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy.
Sixty IgA nephropathy patients were divided into two groups at random. Patients in the test group received leflunomide and patients in the control group received fosinopril. Clinical data were obtained at weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28.
The complete remission rate was 62.1% and the total effectiveness rate was 72.4%. In the leflunomide group, proteinuria significantly decreased from 1.66 +/- 0.42 g to 0.60 +/- 0.68 g (P < 0.05). The efficacy rate of leflunomide compared with fosinopril in treating IgA nephropathy was not statistically different (P > 0.05). Side-effects were mild in both treatment groups.
These preliminary results are encouraging, but further randomised studies are required before leflunomide can be recommended for the treatment of IgA nephropathy.
探讨来氟米特治疗免疫球蛋白A(IgA)肾病的效果。
将60例IgA肾病患者随机分为两组。试验组患者接受来氟米特治疗,对照组患者接受福辛普利治疗。在第2、4、6、8、12、16、20、24和28周获取临床数据。
完全缓解率为62.1%,总有效率为72.4%。来氟米特组蛋白尿从1.66±0.42g显著降至0.60±0.68g(P<0.05)。来氟米特与福辛普利治疗IgA肾病的有效率无统计学差异(P>0.05)。两个治疗组的副作用均较轻。
这些初步结果令人鼓舞,但在推荐来氟米特用于治疗IgA肾病之前,还需要进一步的随机研究。
