1. Proteinuria trend versus time for seven patients who achieved remission with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
Proteinuria trend versus time for seven patients who achieved remission with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Time zero demarcates the end of the ACTH treatment course for each patient. Patients 15 and 23 experienced relapse after ACTH therapy, with patient 15 not meeting remission criteria because of worsened renal function, and patient 23 attaining remission in proteinuria with a repeat course of Stanford Protocol ACTH but not meeting criteria for remission based on serum creatinine. Additional immunosuppressive therapy used during follow-up period: patient 3, mycophenolate mofetil and tacrolimus; patient 12, mycophenolate mofetil; patient 23, cyclosporine and ACTH.
