RESUMO

Background and objectives: Cyclosporin A (CsA) is a well-established treatment for steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS) that may, however, cause chronic ischemic renal lesions. The objective of the study was to assess the prevalence of CsA nephrotoxicity (CsAN) in protocol biopsies of children with SDNS.
