Clinical research of mycophenolate morfetil combined prednisone in treatment of class IV lupus nephritis with nephrotic syndrome

Objective：To investigate the clinical therapeutic efficacy of mycophenolate morfetil （MMF） combined prednisone in the treatment of class IV nephritis （LN） with nephrotie syndrome （NS）. Methods： 65 patients of classIV LN with NS were randomly devided into two groups. Group A （35 patients） were treated with MMF and group B （30 patients） were treated with cyclophosphamide（CTX）. Both groups were treated with standard-dose prednisone. Results：After the treatment, the laboratory index, including urine protein, urine red blood cell,creatinine,C3, C4,ANA and serum levels of ds-DNA antibody,were improved. The blood cell and hepatic function of group B were impacted, whereas those of group A were not. Conclusion：The therapy of MMF plus prednisonc is a safe and effective method for class IV LN with NS.
