ABSTRACT |
Purpose : The Childhood Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome (SRNS) has a poor prognosis and there has been no effective therapy against SRNS of children. In 1990, Mendoza have reported that methylprednisolone pulse therapy was effective against SRNS of children. But in 1992, Waldo have reported that methylprednisolone pulse therapy was not as effective as in the report of Mendoza. So, retrospectively, we have studied 20 korean children with SRNS to evaluate the effect of methylprednisolone pulse therapy, Methods : Mothylprednisolone pulse therapy were given to 20 korean children with SRNS who admitted to Seoul National University Hospital from 1990 to 1995 and follow up was done Results : 1) During methylprednisolone pulse therapy, remission of nephrotic syndrome was induced in 45% of patients. 2) during follow up after the end of methylprednisolone pulse therapy, remission of nephrotic syndrome was maintained in 45% of patients. 3) 25% of patients has progressed to chronic renal failure. Conclusion : We think that the methylprednisolone pulse therapy is a effective therapy against SRNS of children with the 45%, remission rate of of SRNS in Korean Children |
