- W4380291222 abstract "Abstract Introduction While the use of different immunosuppressants has been investigated in immunoglobulin A nephropathy, further investigation is needed to assess the effect of a regimen of mycophenolate mofetil combined with a short course of glucocorticosteroids in the subset of patients with histologically active features. We compared the efficacy and safety of a combined regimen of mycophenolate mofetil and glucocorticosteroids to a conventional regimen of glucocorticosteroids alone in patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy who have active lesions and major urinary abnormalities. Methods This retrospective study involved 30 immunoglobulin A nephropathy patients with active histological lesions, 15 of whom were treated with both mycophenolate mofetil 2 g/day for 6 months and 3 pulses of 15 mg/kg methylprednisolone, followed by a short tapering schedule of oral prednisone. The control group was made up of the remaining 15 clinically- and histologically-matched patients treated with glucocorticosteroids alone according to a validated schedule, i.e., 1 g of methylprednisolone given intravenously for 3 consecutive days, followed by oral prednisone 0.5 mg/kg every other day for 6 months. At diagnosis, all patients had urinary protein excretion > 1 g/24 h and microscopic hematuria. Results At the end of the first year of follow-up (30 patients) and after 5 years (17 patients), there were no differences between the two groups in terms of urinary abnormalities and functional parameters. Both regimens achieved a statistically significant decrease in 24-h urinary protein excretion ( p < 0.001) and a reduction of microscopic hematuria. However, the mycophenolate mofetil-based regimen allowed a cumulative sparing dose of 6 g of glucocorticosteroids. Conclusion In this single center study on immunoglobulin A nephropathy patients with active lesions and major urinary abnormalities and at increased risk of glucocorticosteroid-related complications, a mycophenolate mofetil-based regimen demonstrated similar outcomes in terms of complete response and relapse (at 1 and 5 years) compared to a conventional glucocorticosteroid-based protocol, while achieving a consistent reduction of glucocorticosteroid cumulative dose.
