Abstract
Background Prednison is still the drug of choice for the treatmentof nephrotic syndrome, especially for those with minimal change.
Methods of treatment to optimize the effectiveness and efficacy
are still in discussion.
Objectives To evaluate the episode of relapsing minimal change
nephrotic syndrome patients who received prednisone therapy by
alternate or by three consecutive dose methods.
Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study using medical
records of the patients with primary nephrotic syndrome admitted
to Division of Nephrology, Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta from
January 1995 to January 2005. Subjects were divided into two
groups, the first group treated with alternate days while the
second group with three consecutive days prednisone program.
Evaluation had been done to compare both treatment program
(alternate days or consecutive days).
Results Relapse episodes after six month recovery periods with
alternate days treatment was 33% while those with consecutive
days was as high as 83% (P>O.Ol).
Conclusion Alternate dose group has a lower relapse event
compared to three consecutive dose group in children with
nephrotic syndrome.
