Abstract
Key Clinical Message
We report three cases of IMN from our center, where patients received a single dose of telitacicept after showing no response to conventional treatments. Although one case did not respond, the other two cases achieved complete or partial remission of proteinuria. These cases illustrates the telitacicept may offer new hope for the treatment of IMN.
Despite the variety of treatment options available, effective therapies for refractory membranous nephropathy remain lacking. Recently, some reports have suggested that telitacicept is a new therapeutic option. However, only a few published studies have documented the use of telitacicept for treating idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). We present three cases of IMN from our center, where patients received a single dose of telitacicept after showing no response to conventional treatments, including glucocorticoids, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, and rituximab. Although one case did not respond, the other two cases achieved complete or partial remission of proteinuria. Thus, telitacicept may offer new hope for the treatment of refractory membranous nephropathy.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
