| Abstract |
|
We experienced three children with the biopsy proven minimal change nephrotic syndrome who had failed to respond to prednisolone, 60 mg/m2/d for 4 to 9 weeks due to concomittent administration of rifampin.
Because rifampin is a known enzyme inducer of the liver like phenobarbital and dilantin which can increase the clearance of the other drugs such as steroid etc., rifampin were discontinued after the admission to our Hospital. All three patients responded to the same dose of prednisolone 7 to 9 days after the withdrawal of rifampin.
We report here the clinical and laboratory data of these patients along with brief review of the literatures.
