Clinical Trial Summary

Background- Idiopathic Nephrotic syndrome is the common glomerular disease in childhood. conventional treatment is steroid treatment and nearly 90% response to this treatment well.

Response to this treatment is the most important prognostic factor and this patients has a benign disease course.

60-70% among patients that response to steroid treatment,will suffer a relapse of NS.repeated steroids courses can lead to serious adverse events in children such as low bone density,weight gain ,growth slow down ,elevated blood pressure and eye pressure.there is side effect corelation between steroid dose and treatment duration.

guidelines for steroid dose for NS relapse are not based on retrospective clinical research but only on Nephrologists and experts opinion.

Rational- What would be the optimal low dose steroids and the shortest time of treatment in Nephrotic syndrome relapse?


Clinical Trial Description

Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in children is the most common chronic glomerular disease. The first line of therapy is prednisone and about 90% of the patients will

response to this treatment. The course of the disease is characterized of

recurrent relapses and repeated prednisone therapy. While prednisone doses and

therapy duration in the disease diagnosis has been based on multiple prospective

studies, the dose and therapy duration in the relapses was never challenged in a

prospective control study.

To address this question we designed prospective 3 arm study to evaluate the

effective of exception steroid regiment to treat relapses versus lower doses.

The study population is children in the age 2-18 year old with steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome.

After relapse will be diagnosed based on physical exam and urine tests, the

patients will randomize to receive prednisone doses that are 60/m2 or 45/ m2 or 30/ m2.

A measurement of time to obtain remission, duration of remission est. will be collected.

We plan to recruit 100 children in this study. ;
