Effects of leflunomide combined with hormone therapy for refractory IgA nephropathy

Objective To investigate the effects and safety of leflunomide combined with hormone therapy for refractory IgA nephropathy. Methods Thirteen patients with refractory IgA nephropathy were treated with leflunomide and hormone therapy, and the clinical data were collected and evaluated before and in weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 during the treatment. Results Leflunomide therapy significantly improved proteinuria (P<0.001) and increased serum albumin in these patients (P<0.001) but caused no significant changes in serum creatinine (P>0.05). Only mild tolerable adverse effects were observed. Conclusion Leflunomide combined with hormone therapy can be one of the safety and effective choices for treatment of refractory IgA nephropathy.
