ABSTRACT
In recent years, it has been demonstrated in some studies that adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is effective in the treatment of certain steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, including membranous nephropathy, focal segmental glomerular sclerosis, minimal change nephropathy and so forth.ACTH can effectively relieve proteinuria and protect renal function, suggesting that there may be other mechanisms in addition to the adrenocorticotropic effect.This article mainly introduces the biological characteristics of ACTH, in combination with the clinical and basic studies on the treatment of nephrotic syndrome by ACTH, and clarifies several possible mechanisms, in an attempt to provide basis for clinical application.
