Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	eGFR	Kidney function	3 months
Secondary	eGFR	Kidney function	12 months
Secondary	Urinary biomarkers	NGAL, NAG, KIM-1, TIMP-2, IGFBP7, IL-6, IL-18 and MCP-1 are the biomarkers that the investigators plan to analyze	at inclusion and after3 and 12 months
Secondary	Pathology	Re-evaluation of renal biospies performed at time of inclusion. This evaluation includes the use of routine and special staining for inflammation, fibrosis and tubular damage. The analysis includes an estimation of predictive value of histological scoring on treatment response and prognosis	At inclusion
Secondary	Need for renal replacement therapy	Dialysis need	3 and 12 months
Secondary	Plasma glucose or hemoglobin A1C	Development of diabetes (safety)	3 and 12 months
Secondary	Treatment delay	In the prednisolone group the importance of "treatment delay" is analyzed. Treatment delay is defined as follows: Days form first symptoms to inclusion in this project; Days from first contact to the Danish health care system to inclusion in this project; Days from first contact to a nephrology department to inclusion in this project	At inclusion
Secondary	Infections (number of events)	Safety	3 and 12 months
Secondary	Admissions (number of events)	Safety	3 and 12 months
