Effect of mycophenolate mofetil (Cell Cept) in the treatment of immune glomerulopathies.

Aim: To study the effect of mycophenolate mofetil (Cell Cept) in treating patients with various types of chronic glomerulonephritis and other immune nephropathies.

Material And Methods: Between 2000 and 2003 we treated 35 patients (18 women, 17 men) with Cell Cept (La Roche). In 32 patients the diagnosis was confirmed by kidney biopsy (immunofluorescence, light and electron microscopy).

Cyclosporin A in the treatment of patients with nephrotic syndrome.

Objective: To present our experience in the treatment of conventional therapy refractory nephrotic syndrome with cyclosporin A.

Material And Methods: The study sample included 22 patients (12 men, 10 women, aged 40.43 +/- 5.

Our experience in the combined pathogenetic treatment of chronic glomerulonephritis.

Unlabelled: The most common combined pathogenetic treatment regimens for the treatment of chronic glomerulonephritis are the object of the present study. It is not quite uncommon in everyday clinical practice for the physician to encounter patients with similar pathohistologic patterns who respond differently to a standard therapeutic schedule.

Methods: Having in mind the complexity of the problem we analyzed our ten-year experience with the combined pathogenetic treatment of 150 patients, aged 17 to 52, with histologically proven chronic glomerulonephritis.
