What is Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Childhood Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome: a State of the Art Review about?
Immunosuppressants are commonly used as steroid-sparing agents in childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) to induce and sustain remissions. These drugs have narrow therapeutic indices with high inter-and intra-patient variability. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) would therefore be essential to guide the prescription. Multiple factors in NS contribute to additional variability in drug concentrations, especially during relapses. In this article, we review the currently available evidence of TDM in NS and suggest a practical approach for clinicians' reference.
