摘要
Minimal change disease (MCD) is an important cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Its course is often complicated by frequent relapses and steroid dependence. Most of the treatment experience of MCD comes from management of pediatric patients rather than adult patients. In this report, the author describes successful experience of using rituximab (RTX) and its biosimilar, RTX-pvvr (ruxience), to treat steroid -dependent MCD and relapses in adult patients. This is the first report of using a RTX biosimilar to treat MCD. This case series demonstrates that RTX and ruxience are well-tolerated, efficacious treatment for managing adult patients with steroid-dependent MCD and relapses.
