Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of steroid treatment in patients with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Materials and Methods: The medical files of the patients with primary FSGS who received steroid treatment between September 2005 and September 2007 in our nephrology clinic for at least six months were retrospectively evaluated. At the end of the six-month period, the patients were classified as having complete remission (proteinuria lower than 500 mg/day), partial remission (proteinuria between 500 mg-3.5 g/day without elevation of serum creatinine by 30%) or as nonresponsive to treatment. Results: During the study period, a total of 11 patients (8 male, 3 female; mean age 29 ± 7 years) were diagnosed with primary FSGS and received steroid treatment. At the end of the six-month period, five patients (46%) were in complete remission, four patients (36%) were in partial remission, two patients (18%) were non-responsive to therapy. Conclusion: Steroid treatment is well tolerable and may obtain a favorable renal outcome in patients with FSGS in the early period of treatment.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada steroid tedavisi alan primer fokal segmental glomerülosklerozlu (FSGS) hastaların tedavi sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma, Eylül 2005 ile Eylül 2007 tarihleri arasında nefroloji polikliniğimizde steroid tedavisi başlanan ve en az altı ay süreyle izlenen primer FSGS’li hastaların dosya kayıtlarının geriye dönük incelenmesi ile yapılmıştır. Hastalar, ilk altı aylık izlem sonunda tedaviye verilen yanıt açısından; tam remisyonda (500 mg/gün düzeyinin altında proteinüri), kısmi remisyonda (kan kreatinin düzeyinde %30’dan fazla artış olmaksızın 500 mg-3.5 g/gün düzeyinde proteinüri) ve tedaviye yanıtsız olarak gruplandırılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışma döneminde toplam 11 hastaya (8 erkek, 3 kadın; ortalama yaş 29 ± 7 yıl) ünitemizde primer FSGS tanısı konularak prednizolon tedavisi uygulandığı saptanmıştır. Bu 11 hastanın ilk altı aylık izlem sonunda beşinde (%46) tam, dördünde (%36) kısmi remisyon sağlanırken, ikisinin (%18) tedaviye yanıtsız olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Steroid tedavisi FSGS’li hastalarda iyi tolere edilen ve erken dönem tedavi başarısı açısından yüz güldürücü sonuçlar sağlayabilen bir tedavi seçeneğidir. Günümüzde azalmış olmakla birlikte hâlâ yaygı nlığını korumaktadır.
