The purpose of this study is to clarify effectiveness of LDL-A for FSGS with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome by the prospective randomized control study, and to investigate correlation between clinical effect and change of podocyte function.

Not applicable |
Male and Female
Patients over 16 years old who satisfy all of the following terms.
1. Definitively diagnosed as a nephrotic syndrome.
2. Serum total cholesterol>250mg/dL.

Published
In order to evaluate the efficacy of LDL-apheresis for adult patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (NS) whose biopsy finding indicate as having FGGS, we performed a prospective randomized multicenter trial. Only five patients were assigned to Group A (treated with LDL-apheresis) and three patients in Group D (immunosuppressive drug therapy). Then it was difficult to draw any conclusion. However, three of five in Group L, and one in Group D became remission(CR and ICR-I). We evaluated urinary excretion of podocalyxin, and they decrease after remission of NS. We also evaluate the effect of serum from patients on the expression of nephrin using cultured podocyte. The expression of nephrin were elevated after remission of nephrotic syndrome.
