Abstract
Purpose : The Childhood Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome (SRNS) has a poor prognosis and there has been no effective therapy against SRNS of children. In 1990, Mendoza have reported that methylprednisolone pulse therapy was effective against SRNS of children. But in 1992, Waldo have reported that methylprednisolone pulse therapy was not as effective as in the report of Mendoza. So, retrospectively, we have studied 20 korean children with SRNS to evaluate the effect of methylprednisolone pulse therapy, Methods : Mothylprednisolone pulse therapy were given to 20 korean children with SRNS who admitted to Seoul National University Hospital from 1990 to 1995 and follow up was done Results : 1) During methylprednisolone pulse therapy, remission of nephrotic syndrome was induced in 45% of patients. 2) during follow up after the end of methylprednisolone pulse therapy, remission of nephrotic syndrome was maintained in 45% of patients. 3) 25% of patients has progressed to chronic renal failure. Conclusion : We think that the methylprednisolone pulse therapy is a effective therapy against SRNS of children with the 45%, remission rate of of SRNS in Korean Children
목적 : 소아의 스테로이드 저항성 신증후군은 예후가 불량함에도 불구하고 지금까지 효과적인 치료방법이 없는 병이었으나 1990년 Mendoza등이 Methylprednisolone 충격 요법이 스테로이드 저항성 신증후군에서 효과적이라는 것을 보고하였다. 하지만 2년 뒤 Waldo 등은 Methylprednisolone 충격 요법이 Mendoza 등의 보고와는 다르게 스테로이드 저항성 신증후군에 효과가 적었다고 보고하여 이에 저자는 한국 소아에서 스테로이드 저항성 신증후군이 발생한 경우 Methylprednisolone 충격 요법의 효과를 알아보고 위의 보고의 서로 다른 결과를 확인하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 1990년부터 1995년까지 만 5년간 서울대병원 소아과에 스테로이드 저항성 신증후군으로 입원한 소아를 대상으로 Methylprednisolone 충격 요법을 시행하여
