Long-term outcome of Japanese children with complicated minimal change nephrotic syndrome treated with mycophenolate mofetil after cyclosporine.

Abstract

Although recent studies have shown that more than half of children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS) may continue to have active disease beyond childhood, the long-term outcome in this cohort treated with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) after cyclosporine remains unknown, particularly in adulthood.
