Rituximab in Adult Minimal Change DiseaseMechanisms and Clinical Research Progress
Introduction:Minimal Change Disease (MCD) is a significant cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, often leading to severe proteinuria, edema, and hypoalbuminemia. While corticosteroids remain the first-line treatment, Rituximab (RTX), a monoclonal antibody targeting CD20, has emerged as a promising therapy for refractory cases. This article explores the mechanisms of RTX and its clinical applications in…

Assessing Steroid Response Through Resistivity and Pulsatility Indices
Introduction Nephrotic syndrome is a significant cause of chronic renal disease in children, often leading to long-term complications. This study evaluates resistivity and pulsatility indices in the interlobar arteries of the kidneys in pediatric nephrotic syndrome patients across different response groups. Using Doppler ultrasound, researchers analyzed how these indices correlate with steroid responsiveness, helping predict…
