  1. Data were shown as n/N (%) or mean ± SD. aTime from remission to relapse for the two patients are separately listed in the table. **p < 0.01, CNI group as control. CNI, calcineurin inhibitor; CTX, cyclophosphamide; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; ESRD, end-stage renal disease; RTX, rituximab
