This is important in proliferation of T- and B lymphocytes
Neither nephrotoxic no gonadotoxic
Although remission rate with CSA after 1 year were better (85% vs.

Patients with adequate MMF exposure (prodrug MPA ˃50ug/hr/ml)

Role of Genetic Testing in SRNS
Genetic testing preferable in all children ˂2 years old
Cyclosporin therapy more effective in non-genetic forms of SRNS
Key features in a patient with SRNS which suggest the need for
genetic testing:
• Age ˂6 years (esp <2 years)
• FH of NS
• Consanguinity
• Histopathological findings of FSGS or diffuse mesangial sclerosis.

Conclusion
CNIs and MMF most commonly used in FR or SD steroid-sensitive NS
Rituximab useful in multi-drug dependent SSNS
In SRNS mutations in podocyte genes or other genes confer resistance
to immunosuppressive treatment
Patients must be monitored for adverse effects of immunosuppression
