Triple immunosuppressive therapy in steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome children with tacrolimus resistance or tacrolimus sensitivity but frequently relapsing.
The treatment strategy for steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome remains uncertain at present, especially in those with calcineurin inhibitor resistance or intolerance. To date, few studies have been published using multiple combination therapy of immunosuppressive reagents for children with calcineurin inhibitor-resistant or -intolerant nephrotic syndrome. ⋯ Triple-combination therapy with Pre + TAC + CTX/MMF/LEF is effective for short-term response and 1 year remission, without significant additional side-effects seen in children with steroid-resistant and tacrolimus-resistant or tacrolimus-sensitive but frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome. Further study for evaluating long-term efficacy and safety of triple-combination therapy with Pre + TAC + CTX/MMF/LEF would be necessary for these patients.
