Sixteen children with LN (WHO class III and IV), 31.3% of whom required dialysis at induction, were retrospectively studied. Median MMF dose was 942 mg\/m\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \/day. Thirteen patients (81%) with persistent proteinuria received CSA. Clinical and laboratory parameters were compared at pre-induction, 6 and 12 months. Treatment outcome was defined by Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI), renal function, haematuria, proteinuria and serological markers (complements C3, C4 and anti-dsDNA). Comparing these parameters at induction, 6 months and 12 months, respectively, SLEDAI (25.4 \u00b1 8.7 versus 3.2 \u00b1 2.9 versus 2.9 \u00b1 2.8), serum C3 (47 \u00b1 21 versus 107 \u00b1 27 versus 111 \u00b1 38 mg\/dl), C4 (12 \u00b1 14 versus 23 \u00b1 14 versus 22 \u00b1 11 mg\/dl) and urine protein (6.97 \u00b1 7.09 versus 0.98 \u00b1 1.56 versus 0.21 \u00b1 0.13 g\/ day\/1. 73 m\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) improved significantly (p &lt; 0.05). Anti-dsDNA titres decreased in 73% by 6 and 12 months (p &lt; 0.05). Complete renal remission was achieved in 7\/16 (43.8%) at 6 months and 12\/16 (75%) at 12 months, the rest achieving partial remission with no treatment failures. In conclusion, a combination MMF\u2014CSA protocol is an effective therapeutic alternative for induction of children with severe proliferative LN, resulting in significant clinical and serological improvement with minimal adverse effects.\n
