Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Efficacy and Safety [ Time Frame: 6 months ]

    The efficacy measure is remission of nephritis (combined partial and complete remission) at 6 months defined as

    • Stabilization or improvement in renal function and
    • Urinary RBC of less than 10 per HPF and
    • Reduction of proteinuria to less than 3 g/day if baseline proteinuria was more than 3 g/day and at least a 50% reduction in proteinuria, or to less than 1 g/day if the baseline proteinuria was in the subnephrotic range.
