Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in children carries a significant risk of progression to end-stage renal failure (ESRF). We report a two-step protocol adapted in children with SRNS. Thirty-seven SRNS were treated with cyclosporine A (CyA) in association with prednisolone (alternate day) for 6 months (first-step treatment). Twelve patients (32.4%) went into complete remission, and 2 (5.4%) got partial remission. The other 23 cases who were steroid and CyA resistant entered a second-step treatment with withdrawing steroids, with CyA (5 mg/kg/day) in association with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 30 mg/kg/day for 6 months. Complete remission was observed in 11 cases (47.82%) and partial remission in 2 cases (8.7%). After two steps of treatment, 27/37 children went into total remission. In steroid and CyA-resistant INS, the association of MMF with CyA was able to induce remission in about half cases without relevant side effects.
儿童类固醇抵抗型肾病综合征(SRNS)进展为终末期肾衰竭(ESRF)的风险很大。我们报告了一种适用于SRNS患儿的两步治疗方案。37例SRNS患儿接受环孢素A(CyA)联合泼尼松龙(隔日给药)治疗6个月(第一步治疗)。12例患者(32.4%)完全缓解,2例(5.4%)部分缓解。另外23例对类固醇和CyA耐药的患者进入第二步治疗,停用类固醇,使用CyA(5mg/kg/天)联合霉酚酸酯(MMF)30mg/kg/天治疗6个月。11例(47.82%)完全缓解,2例(8.7%)部分缓解。经过两步治疗,37例患儿中有27例完全缓解。在对类固醇和CyA耐药的特发性肾病综合征(INS)中,MMF与CyA联合使用能够使约半数病例诱导缓解,且无相关副作用。
