Immunosuppressive therapy including rituximab or, if
unavailable, cyclophosphamide
After disease stabilization, patients should receive
concurrent therapy for the underlying disorder
Exceptions to this general principle include mixed
cryoglobulinemia due to HIV or HBV infections;
(antiviral therapy should always be initiated before or
at the same time as immunosuppressive therapy)

Key Points
Key Points
• Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody
directed against the CD20 antigen on the
surface of immature and mature B cells.
• It is used in clinical nephrology related
diseases & renal transplantation.
• It is safe and well tolerated in most.
Key Points
• Long-term use may be complicated by
hypogammaglobulinaemia and increased
infectious complications.
• Optimal dosing is unclear.
• The development of bio-similars and dosing
targeted to B-cell response may reduce cost.
