This study suggests that 12-month therapy with CyA (+/-prednisolone) is effective in inducing remission in most nephrotic patients with MN and well-preserved renal function. Longer treatment with lower doses is a useful approach to maintain remission. Relapses occur more frequently in the monotherapy group and usually are associated with CyA trough levels<100 ng/ml.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
