Abstract
Background This study aimed to observe the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus in the treatment of refractory immunoglobulin A vasculitis nephritis (IgAVN). Methods Sixteen patients with IgAVN who had been previously treated with cyclophosphamide shock therapy at least five times, some of whom had also received mycophenolate but still had persistent proteinuria, were enrolled. The clinical and pathological data were collected and analysed. Results The average (mean ± standard deviation) age at the initial assessment for the group of 16 patients was 10 ± 2.7 years. Finally, at the end of their respective follow-up time point, 6 of the 16 patients achieved complete remission (37.5%), 5 achieved partial remission (31.2%), and 5 had no remission (31.2%). A significant difference was found in the median proteinuria before and after a 6-month course of tacrolimus treatment [19.2 (11.2, 31.9) vs 7.8 (4.3, 13.9) mg/kg/day] (P < .05). During the first 6 months of tacrolimus treatment, all patients' estimated glomerular filtration rate levels remained normal. The mean tacrolimus blood concentration was 6.0 ± 2.6 ng/mL. The median prednisone dosage was decreased from 10 mg/day to 5 mg/day, and prednisone was eventually stopped in three individuals. No drug-related adverse effects were observed during treatment. Conclusions Tacrolimus has demonstrated efficacy in increasing remission rates, significantly lowering urinary protein levels, and reducing steroid use in children with refractory IgAVN. Further research is required to investigate its optimal blood concentrations, long-term effects and renoprotective properties.

Abstract
The clinical spectrum of immunoglobulin A vasculitis nephritis (IgAVN) ranges from the relatively common transitory microscopic hematuria and/or low-grade proteinuria to nephritic or nephrotic syndrome, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, or even renal failure. Clinical and experimental studies have shown a multifactor pathogenesis: Infection triggers, impaired glycosylation of IgA1, complement activation, Toll-like-receptor activation and B cell proliferation. This knowledge can identify IgAVN patients at a greater risk for adverse outcome and increase the evidence for treatment recommendations.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) nephritis, also known as Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN), is a condition in which small blood vessel inflammation and perivascular IgA deposition in the kidney caused by neutrophil activation, which more often leads to chronic kidney disease and accounts for 1%–2% of children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The treatment principles recommended by the current management guidelines include general drug treatment, support measures and prevention of sequelae, among which the therapeutic drugs include corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents and angiotensin system inhibitors. However, the concentration range of immunosuppressive therapy is narrow and the individualized difference is large, and the use of corticosteroids does not seem to improve the persistent nephropathy and prognosis of children with IgAV. Therefore, individualized maintenance treatment of the disease and stable renal prognosis are still difficult problems. Genetic information helps to predict drug response in advance. It has been proved that most gene polymorphisms of cytochrome oxidase P450 and drug transporter can affect drug efficacy and adverse reactions (ADR). Drug therapy based on genetics and pharmacogenomics is beneficial to providing safer and more effective treatment for children. Based on the pathogenesis of IgAV, this paper summarizes the current therapeutic drugs, explores potential therapeutic drugs, and focuses on the therapeutic significance of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants in children with IgAV nephritis at the level of pharmacogenomics. In addition, the individualized application of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants in children with different genotypes was analyzed, in order to provide a more comprehensive reference for the individualized treatment of IgAV nephritis in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with severe Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) may progress to end-stage renal disease without appropriate treatment. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus combined with glucocorticoids in the treatment of pediatric HSPN. METHODS A total of 87 HSPN patients with urinary protein ≥ 0.75 g/24 h received standard of care, including angiotensin II receptor blockers/angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and glucocorticoids. Patients were divided into three groups and additionally received tacrolimus (n = 30), cyclophosphamide (n = 31), or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) (n = 26). We monitored outcome measures, including proteinuria, hematuria, and renal function and analyzed the efficacy and side effects in each group. RESULTS At 2-month follow-up, the overall efficacy was 93.3%, 83.9%, and 61.5% for tacrolimus, cyclophosphamide, and MMF, respectively (P < 0.05). Urinary protein significantly decreased for all groups. Urinary red blood cell counts significantly decreased for patients treated with tacrolimus (P < 0.001) and cyclophosphamide (P < 0.05), whereas no significant decrease was seen for those receiving MMF (P = 0.09). Although urine β2-microglobulin significantly decreased following 2 months of treatment with all medications, efficacy was greater with tacrolimus than with cyclophosphamide and MMF (P < 0.001). Major adverse events were respiratory and urinary infections, with MMF having the highest infection rate. The cyclophosphamide group also experienced additional adverse events, including arrhythmia, hemorrhagic cystitis, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and hyperglycemia. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that tacrolimus is more effective at reducing proteinuria and hematuria and improving renal function, with relatively milder side effects, in the treatment of pediatric HSPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), also called IgA vasculitis, is a systemic vasculitis characterized by deposits of immunoglobulin A in blood vessels. Renal impairment of these patients is the main determinant of prognosis. The optimal treatment of HSP nephritis (HSPN) in children remains controversial, but many clinicians administer an immunosuppressive agent with a corticosteroid. A previous study reported that leflunomide (LEF) with a corticosteroid was effective for adult patients with HSPN and nephrotic proteinuria. However, data on this treatment in pediatric patients is limited. METHODS We described our experience at a single center on the use of LEF in 5 pediatric patients who had IgA vasculitis with proteinuria that was nearly 50 mg/kg (nephrotic range) and remained high despite administration of intravenous steroid, and biopsy-proven nephritis. All patients had class II to IIIb lesions based on the International Study of Kidney Disease in Children (ISKDC). RESULTS We successfully treated all 5 children who had IgA vasculitis with nephritis using LEF with a corticosteroid. Four patients achieved a complete remission of proteinuria, and 1 patient had significantly reduced proteinuria. The children received LEF for 6 months to 12 months, and none of them had severe adverse events. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first case series to report successful treatment of pediatric HSPN with LEF in combination with a corticosteroid.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis (IgAV), previously called Henoch-Schönlein purpura, is characterized by IgA-dominant immune deposits affecting small vessels and often involves the skin, gastrointestinal tract, joints, and kidneys. IgAV is the most common cause of systemic vasculitis in children. The long-term prognosis is dependent on renal involvement: IgAV with nephritis (IgAVN) can progress to renal failure. IgAVN is an inflammatory disease, providing a rationale for the use of corticosteroids. However, data supporting the use of corticosteroids in patients with established IgAVN of any severity remain limited, although most clinicians use them. Even in patients with severe forms of IgAVN, methylprednisolone pulses added to oral corticosteroids appears to improve renal outcomes. Considering the multihit hypothesis for the pathogenesis of IgAVN, involving many other immune agents, there is a strong rationale for the use of other immunosuppressive drugs in patients with IgAVN, including mycophenolic acid, cyclophosphamide, rituximab, calcineurin inhibitors, and complement inhibitors. Thus, these immunosuppressive treatments have also been evaluated in IgAVN, usually in corticosteroid-dependent or corticosteroid-resistant forms and in small retrospective studies. However, their efficacy has not been proven. Thus, the risk of progression to renal failure and the ongoing debate about the best management of IgAVN justifies the interest in investigating and identifying treatments that can potentially preserve renal function in patients with IgAVN. This review reports on the efficacy of the different drugs currently used for the treatment of IgAVN in adults and children.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW IgA vasculitis (IgAV) is a rare and poorly understood systemic vasculitis in adults. Its diagnosis and treatment remain a challenge. Herein, we review the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management, and prognosis of IgAV in adults. RECENT FINDINGS The clinical course of IgAV in adults appears to be different from pediatric IgAV, especially due to its higher risk of evolving into end-stage renal disease. Rising awareness and interest in adult-onset IgA vasculitis has resulted in recent increasing number of publications on different treatment experiences. However, there is still controversy over the role of glucocorticoid (GC) and different immunosuppressive therapies such as cyclophosphamide, rituximab, and mychophenolate mofetil for more severe IgAV. Data regarding potential benefits of targeting the mucosal immune system, toll-like receptors, complements, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the treatment of IgA nephropathy are emerging. High quality evidence or guidelines in the treatment of severe IgAV are lacking and there is still a great need for controlled trials.

Tacrolimus treatment in childhood refractory nephrotic syndrome: A retrospective study on efficacy, therapeutic drug monitoring, and contributing factors to variable blood tacrolimus levels. Int Immunopharmacol 2020; 81:106290. [PMID: 32058933 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2020.106290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2019] [Revised: 02/03/2020] [Accepted: 02/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressive drug, was recommended by the 2012 KDIGO guidelines to treat nephrotic syndrome (NS) in children and adults. However, it has high interpatient pharmacokinetic variability and exposure levels should be monitored, although there are no specified target concentrations. This retrospective study aimed to review efficacy and safety after concomitant treatment with tacrolimus and prednisone, and to identify factors that contribute to the variable blood-trough-concentration-to-dose (C0/Dose) ratio in children with refractory NS (RNS). A 6-month therapy induced complete or partial remission in 95% of patients. One-year follow-up indicated a high remission rate and low nephrotoxicity. Under maintenance dosages, approximately 95% of the C0 values were 2-7 ng/mL. Body weight (BW), age, CYP3A5 polymorphisms were the factors affecting the C0/Dose ratio. The C0/Dose ratio in patients with a BW of <20 kg was 1.5-fold than that in patients with BW of ≥40 kg. Moreover, the C0/Dose ratio in patients aged 1-≤6 and 6-≤12 years was significantly lower than that in patients aged 12-≤18 years, by 25% and 48%, respectively. There were no significant association between CYP3A5 genotyping and C0/Dose ratio in younger children (1-≤6 years), rather than older children (6-≤18 years). In conclusion, routine CYP3A5 genotyping should be considered in children aged over 6 years and exposure levels (C0) of 2-7 ng/mL may be feasible when tacrolimus is combined with low-dose prednisone to treat childhood RNS.

Abstract
Glomerular diseases are leading causes of end-stage renal disease in children. Tacrolimus is frequently used off-label in the treatment of glomerular diseases. The effectiveness, safety and pharmacokinetic data of tacrolimus in the treatment of glomerular diseases in children are reviewed in this paper to provide evidence to support its rational use in clinical practice. The remission rates in previously published studies were different. In 19 clinical trials on children with nephrotic syndrome, the overall remission rate was 52.6-97.6%. In four clinical trials on children with lupus nephritis, the overall remission rate was 81.8-89.5%. In a pilot study with paediatric Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis patients, the overall remission rate was 100.0%. Infection, nephrotoxicity, gastrointestinal symptoms and hypertension are the most common adverse events. Body weight, age, CYP3A5 genotype, cystatin-C and daily dose of tacrolimus may have significant effects on the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus in children with glomerular disease. More prospective controlled trials with long follow-up are needed to demonstrate definitely the effectiveness, safety and pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus in children with glomerular diseases.
