Efficacy of Pentoxifylline on Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis

NCT00354198

RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

We have recently demonstrated that pentoxifylline (PTX) has the potential to treat severe glomerular inflammation in a rat model of accelerated anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) glomerulonephritis. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of combined PTX and conventional immunosuppressive regimens on patients with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
