Article Synopsis
- IgA nephropathy, a common kidney condition, may benefit from treatment with calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) combined with steroids, though CNIs are not as widely studied.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of 16 randomized clinical trials involving 998 patients indicated that this combination treatment has a higher likelihood of achieving complete remission and significantly reduces proteinuria compared to steroid-only treatment.
- However, the combined treatment did not show superior effects on serum creatinine levels or estimated glomerular filtration rate, suggesting some limitations in its overall effectiveness.
