2.Disease review
: Strong predictor of ESRD
- ongoing inflamations with cellular crescent, macrophages in the tubular lumens, immune deposits
Membraneous > Proliferative
Pure membranous > Superimposed Proliferative lesions( Class III + V , Class IV +V)
- 72% 10-year survival rates vs 20-48% 10-year survival rates
aggressive treatment to avoid irreversible renal damage and progression to ESRD
high-dose daily or alternate day corticosteroids
azathioprine
intravenous pulse methylprednisolone
oral or intravenous cyclophosphamide,
cyclosporine
mycophenolate mofetil
rituximab
Cyclophosphamide
reduce risk for doubling Serum Creatinine
A/E : ovarian failure
Mycophenolate mofetil
reduce risk for treatment failure
Azathioprine
reduce risk for all-cause mortality
but, no effect on renal outcome
