まとめ
シクロスポリンは,ステロイド依存性腎症候群 (SDNS) の子供に対する有望な治療法である. 診断後の早期再発と以前の再発率は治療の失敗を予測する.
科学分野:
- 小児腎臓科
- 薬理学について
- 免疫抑制
背景:
- 子供におけるステロイド依存性腎症候群 (SDNS) は,しばしば長期の免疫抑制を必要とします.
- サイクロスポリンを1日1回投与すると,SDNSの管理に伴う潜在的利益と腎毒性の低下が見られます.
- 小児SDNSにおけるこのレジメンの反応と長期的なアウトカムを予測する要因は十分に確立されていません.
研究 の 目的:
- シクロスポリンを1日1回投与したSDNS患者の治療効果を評価し,治療失敗の予測要因を特定する.
- この治療法を受けているSDNSの小児患者の長期的なアウトカムを評価する.
主な方法:
- ステロイド依存性腎症候群 (最小変化疾患) を有する48人の患者を分析した研究で,プレパンディアルで1日1回サイクロスポリンを投与した.
- 治療薬のモニタリングは,投与後2時間のサイクロスポリン濃度500 - 700ng/ mlを狙った.
- 主要評価点: 治療失敗までの時間; 二次評価点: 長期的な結果
主要な成果:
- 48人の患者のうち31人がサイクロスポリンを1日1回投与し,18人がステロイド投与を中止した.
- 17人の患者で治療が失敗した.
- 治療失敗の独立した危険因子には,初期の再発 (診断後2.2ヶ月未満) と以前の再発率が高いことが含まれていた.
- 慢性腎疾患 (第3段階以上) に進行した患者はいなかった.
結論:
- シクロスポリンは,小児のステロイド依存性腎症候群 (最小変化疾患) の治療に有効な治療法である.
- 診断後の早期再発がなく,以前の再発率が低い患者は,よりよい結果を示しています.
- このコホートでは,長期的な腎臓機能に関して安全である.

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Glucocorticoids
201
Glucocorticoids, a class of anti-inflammatory drugs, are pivotal in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease by inducing remission. They exhibit their anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and chemokines like IL-8. In addition, they reduce the expression of inflammatory cell adhesion molecules and inhibit gene transcription of nitric oxide synthase, phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2...

Nephrotic Syndrome II : Assessment and Medical Management
21
IntroductionNephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder marked by excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to various systemic complications. This condition often results from damage to the glomeruli—the kidney's filtering units—causing proteinuria, low blood protein levels, and fluid retention. Understanding the assessment, diagnosis, and management of nephrotic syndrome is essential for effective treatment and prevention of further kidney damage.AssessmentPatient History: Document...

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Immunomodulatory Agents

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disorder marked by chronic inflammation of the GI tract. Various treatment strategies for Crohn's disease are employed, such as immunomodulatory agents, glucocorticoids, and biologics or anti-TNF therapy. Azathioprine (Imuran), a commonly used immunomodulatory drug for Crohn's disease, is converted in the body to mercaptopurine, which inhibits purine biosynthesis and cell proliferation. Both are utilized in severe cases of Inflammatory Bowel...
