Summary

This study looked at whether rituximab, a medication that targets certain immune cells, can help children with a challenging form of nephrotic syndrome (a kidney condition) have fewer relapses. 91 children were randomly assigned to receive either rituximab or another drug called tacrolimus, along with special nursing care. The researchers tracked how well each treatment worked over 6 months, focusing on relapse rates and quality of life.
