BACKGROUND The most appropriate management of Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP)
nephritis with nephrotic-range proteinuria remains uncertain. The aim of this
study was to evaluate the clinical therapeutic effects of mycophenolate mofetil
and low-dose steroid in Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) with
nephrotic-range proteinuria and pathological classification less than IV in
children. MATERIAL AND METHODS The clinical effects of MMF and low-dose steroid
therapy were studied in children with Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis
manifested with nephrotic-range proteinuria, normal kidney function, and <50%
crescents or sclerosing lesions on renal biopsy. We enrolled 32 boys and 29 girls
with nephrotic-range proteinuria, normal kidney function, and pathological
classification less than IV on renal biopsy. We treated 41 cases (67.2%) with
mycophenolate mofetil and low-dose prednisone combined therapy and 20 cases
(32.8%) were treated with full-dose prednisone alone. RESULTS Short-term response
was significantly different between 2 groups (?²=4.371, P=0.037), while no
significant difference was found in long-term prognosis (?²=0.419, P=0.522) after
follow-up. The ROC curve showed that the most appropriate cutoff value was 30.67
?g·h/ml for MPA-AUC and the area under the ROC curve was 0.731, with 85.2%
sensitivity and 64.3% specificity. CONCLUSIONS Mycophenolate mofetil and low-dose
prednisone combined therapy is a reasonable treatment choice which can promote
the remission of proteinuria without increasing obvious adverse reactions in
pediatric HSPN with nephrotic state and pathological classification less than
grade IV. MPA-AUC more than 30 ?g·h/ml was an appropriate value for MMF in the
combined therapy with MMF and steroid for treating children with HSPN.
