Abstract: Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults worldwide. Treatment using cyclical cyclophosphamide and steroids (‘modified Ponticelli’ regimen) has been the standard of care for decades, however potential therapy-related adverse effects are a significant concern. At our center, we have used lower-than-standard dose intravenous pulse steroid based modification of the conventional ‘modified Ponticelli’ regimen to minimize steroid-related adverse effects (Figure 1).
