Interventions/Control_1

1) Tacrolimus is usually administered orally at a dose of 3 mg/day immediately after informed consent is obtained.
It is allowed to decrease the dosage and/or intermit the administration within 2 weeks for reducing adverse effects.
2) Cyclophosphamide is usually administered intravenously at a dose of 500 mg/m2 per 2 weeks immediately after informed consent is obtained. Six-time administrations are usually performed.
It is allowed to decrease the total dosage of cyclophosphamide for reducing adverse effects.
3) The oral prednisolone is usually started at a dose of 0.6-1.0 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks immediately after informed consent is obtained, and then the dosage of prednisolone is usually reduced by 5 mg/day every 2-4 weeks to 20 mg/day; after that point, it is usually reduced by 2.5 mg/day every 2-4 weeks to a maintenance dosage of 5-10 mg/day.
4) Any other immunosuppressive drug (such as azathioprine, 6-mercaptoprine, cyclosporine and mizoribine) is not administered. High-dose steroid pulse therapy is not performed.
