Wei Shi, Guangdong General Hospital
  Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the improved responsiveness to treatment achieved by CsA in patients with steroid-resistant or steroid-dependent FSGS could be explained by CsA's inhibitory action on the circulating suPAR expression.

Condition
FSGS

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: A Prospective Controlled Follow-up of Serum Soluble Urokinase Receptor in the Cyclosporine A-treated Patients With Steroid-dependent and Steroid-resistant Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
