Results

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.
