Abstract

In the current issue of Kidney International, Sinha et al. report results of a randomized controlled trial comparing levamisole and mycophenolate mofetil for the second-line treatment of children with frequent relapses of nephrotic syndrome. This study suggests that these two agents may both be safe and effective. The present commentary addresses strengths and limitations of this important study.
