- W2076054383 abstract "The role of immunosuppressive drugs in the treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) remains controversial. The effect of treatment with prednisolone and azathioprine in patients with nephrotic-range proteinuria and biopsy-proven IMN from a single center (Sheffield Kidney Institute, Sheffield, UK) is described. In this retrospective study, 58 patients with IMN and nephrotic-range proteinuria were followed up for 4 years. Thirty-eight patients were treated with prednisolone (1 mg/kg body weight/d) and azathioprine (2 mg/kg body weight/d) orally for a median period of 26 months (range, 6 to 48 months). Twenty patients received no specific treatment for IMN and served as a control group. Clinical, biochemical, and histopathologic features at presentation were similar between the groups. Renal function (RF), measured by serum creatinine (Scr) level, deteriorated in both treated and control groups during the follow-up period. The median initial and final Scr levels (at the end of follow-up) in the treated group were 1.6 and 2. 1 mg/dL, respectively, and in the control group were 1.3 and 1.7 m/dL, respectively (P = not significant). Neither the rate of RF decline (measured by the slope of reciprocal of Scr against time) nor the proportion of patients with deteriorating RF differed significantly between the groups (37%, treated group; 30%, control group). A significant reduction in proteinuria was observed in both groups (P < 0.01, either group). Also, the rate of remission of nephrotic-range proteinuria was not significantly different between groups (55%, treated group; 65%, control group). The only prognostic factor that correlated with RF outcome (expressed by final Scr level) in a given patient was the mean proteinuria during follow-up in either group (r = 0.493; P < 0.01, treated group; r = 0.651; P < 0.01, control group). Adverse effects of immunosuppressive treatment were observed in nine patients (24%). These were serious in four patients (10%) and included squamous cell carcinoma (two patients), bacterial meningitis (one patient), and septicemia (one patient). In conclusion, treatment with prednisolone and azathioprine for patients with IMN did not show significant beneficial effects on the progression of disease. Furthermore, this treatment was associated with frequent and serious adverse effects." @default.
