  • Title: Cyclosporin A in steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome with frequent relapses.
    Author: Chan MK, Cheng IK.
    Journal: Postgrad Med J; 1987 Sep; 63(743):757-9. PubMed ID: 3444800.
    Abstract:
    Eight patients with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome which frequently relapsed despite cyclophosphamide treatment were given cyclosporin A (7.5 mg/kg/day to 10 mg/kg/day) for 8 to 12 weeks. Six had minimal change glomerulonephritis and two had focal segmental glomerulonephritis. Cyclosporin A was given to 5 patients when their nephrotic syndrome was in relapse and to 3 patients when the nephrotic syndrome was in remission. Cyclosporin A induced a transient remission in only one patient.
