WCN25-1553 EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF DAILY ORAL STEROID AND CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE VERSUS CYCLICAL STEROID AND CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE IN ADULT PATIENTS WITH MEMBRANOUS NEPHROPATHY :A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Membranous nephropathy(MN)is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in the elderly. The most widely accepted treatment is alternate monthly steroid and cyclophosphamide, also known as the modified Ponti celli regimen(MPR). It requires hospitalization for three days every alternate month for six months. Considering the widely different educational and economical background of patients at our centre, compliance to MPR may not be universal. We want to compare a complete oral regimen of steroid and cyclophosphamide for 6 months with MPR.
