Denys-Drash syndrome (DDS) is characterized by progressive glomerulopathy caused by diffuse mesangial sclerosis (DMS), genitourinary defects, and a higher risk of developing Wilms' tumor. It is commonly assumed that the DMS is unresponsive to any medications. In this report, we present a patient with Denys-Drash syndrome, in whom the cyclosporine A (CsA) was found to induce total remission. This observation and observations of other authors confirm that in genetic forms of nephrotic syndrome, the proteinuric effect of CsA may be due to a non-immunologic mechanism. We confirm the beneficial effect of CsA treatment in DDS; however, the potential nephrotoxicity of this drug will probably not allow long-term use.
Denys-Drash 综合征(DDS)的特征是弥漫性系膜硬化(DMS)引起的进行性肾小球病、泌尿生殖系统缺陷以及Wilms 瘤发生风险增加。通常认为 DMS 对任何药物均无反应。在本报告中,我们介绍了一位患有 Denys-Drash 综合征的患者,发现环孢素 A(CsA)可诱导完全缓解。这一观察结果以及其他作者的观察结果证实,在遗传性肾病综合征中,CsA 的蛋白尿效应可能归因于非免疫机制。我们证实了 CsA 治疗 DDS 的有益效果;然而,该药物的潜在肾毒性可能不允许长期使用。
