BackgroundWe investigated the efficacy of rituximab and low-dose cyclosporine combination therapy for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS).MethodsFive FSGS children with SRNS were treated twice with rituximab and low-dose cyclosporine (CyA) combination therapy (RTX-CyAT). The clinical features and laboratory data were investigated before and after RTX-CyAT, and the outcomes were assessed.ResultsPrednisolone (PSL) was discontinued 3months after RTX-CyAT in all patients. The number of CD19-positive cells decreased to
