In this retrospective study, patients with idiopathic frequently-relapsing nephrotic syndrome (FRNS) (n=27) and steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS) (n=13) who received enteric coated mycophenolate sodium (ECMS) for at least 6 months, were included for analysis. Primary outcome was response to ECMS, which was defined as complete if there were no relapses, partial response if there was 1 relapse and no response if there were 2 or more relapses within 6 months of initiation. The mean (SD) dose of ECMS was 985.24 (190.82) mg/m2/day. Thirty patients(75%) had complete response, eight (20%) had partial and two (5%) patients did not respond at 6 months. ECMS seems to be a safe and effective as steroid sparing agent in children with FRNS/SDNS.
