Bortezomib for Treating Glomerular Diseases

Bortezomib is a proteasome inhibitor that inhibits autoantibody production, and reduces podocyte damage and mesangial hyperplasia caused by NF-κB activation in the kidney. Literature has reported that bortezomib can achieve a complete response rate of up to 38% in the treatment of glomerular diseases, but its safety and effectiveness remain to be assessed for the Chinese demographic. This study attempts to explore a new treatment plan for glomerular disease by observing the therapeutic effect of bortezomib on glomerular disease.
