Abstract
The large majority of patients who had MCNS with onset in adulthood or late adolescence were treated with corticosteroids and reached remission, but many had relapses. Cyclophosphamide resulted in stable remission in many patients with relapses. Significant morbidity was observed due to acute kidney injury and other complications. Progression to end-stage renal disease occurred in a few patients and was explained by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
