Rituximab in the treatment of resistant lupus nephritis: therapy failure in rapidly progressive crescentic lupus nephritis

Abstract: Rituximab therapy achieved a response in 13/18 patients with refractory LN. However, in patients with rapidly progressive crescentic LN, when there is already evidence of significant renal impairment, rituximab therapy may not prevent progression to ESRF and dialysis. Our data also suggest that severe Class IV-G LN may be associated with a poor response to therapy.

“…Lastly, our study addresses immunosuppression: a very important aspect of all therapeutic agents attempting to target aberrant inflammation. Chronic treatment with antiinflammatory agents can lead to overall immune suppression and increased susceptibility to infections (53,54). To determine whether our therapeutic approach impacts immune responses to pathogens, we infected NAS-treated animals with PR8 influenza to mimic human flu infection.…”

“…Seventy-six of these articles had to be further excluded, as these provided incomplete data or had irrelevant objectives and were unsuitable for meta-analysis. Remaining 31 articles were included for meta-analysis (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Flowchart of the studies evaluated is represented in Figure 1.…”

“…The most common adverse reactions were infections (40, 44, 46, 49), acute or delayed infusion reactions (29,39), and thrombocytopenia (39). Sepsis-like syndrome (14,36) and serum sickness-like reaction (29) occasionally occurred in three patients overall.…”

“…Показана высокая эффективность ритуксимаба у пациентов с тяжелым тече-нием болезни, рефрактерной к стандартной терапии, что согласуется с результатами подобных исследований [21][22][23], опубликованных ранее, у взрослых пациен-тов и детей [24][25][26][27][28][29]. Важно отметить, что ритуксимаб оказался высокоэффективен для лечения волчаночного нефрита [25][26][27], что также подтверждают ранее опу-бликованные данные о лечении волчаночного нефрита у детей [30,31].…”
