Steroid Retrial After Rituximab and Mycophenolate Mofetil in Pediatric Refractory Nephrotic Syndrome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is a challenging condition. In pediatric SRNS, cyclosporine is the first-line treatment choice, with approximately 60% success rate. In cyclosporine-resistant disease, treatment modalities such as cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), tacrolimus, vincristine, galactose, plasmapheresis and rituximab have been tried with variable success. In this paper, we report a patient with SRNS who remained resistant to all the above stated medications except a moderate response to rituximab. After rituximab, MMF re-initiation did not induce further improvement. Prednisone retrial thereafter induced a prompt remission. The significance of this finding in context with current literature has been discussed. World J Nephrol Urol. 2016;5(2):33-36 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14740/wjnu267w

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
