The drugs whose efficacy has been proven in randomised clinical trials and which are considered the drugs of choice as the first line of treatment are alkylating agents combined with steroids and calcineurin inhibitors<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span>&#46; Both treatments have proven similar efficacy in inducing nephrotic syndrome remission and preserving renal function&#44; but they have some limitations&#46; Firstly&#44; around 20&#37; of patients may be resistant to one or both drugs<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3-13</span>&#46; Secondly&#44; the available evidence suggests that after starting therapy&#44; the probability of a response progressively increases with time&#44; even beyond the period of exposure to the drug<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5-13</span>&#44; and there is currently no variable that allows us to predict whether the patient will respond or not to the treatment or the time at which the response will occur&#46; Recently&#44; the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor has been identified as one of the target antigens of the autoimmune response in IMN patients<span class="elsevierStyleSup">14-16</span> and it has been reported that circulating antibodies against the latter &#40;anti-PLA2R&#41;&#44;

we carried out repeated measurements of the anti-PLA2R antibody titre before and during the 12 months following the start of treatment in patients with IMN who received tacrolimus as the first line of treatment&#44; with the objective of analysing the predictive value of the evolution of the anti-PLA2R antibody titre on the clinical response&#46; The patient group included a non-selected sample of patients with IMN associated with anti-PLA2R antibodies&#44; who were treated by following the same protocol&#44; after an extended period of symptomatic treatment starting at diagnosis in accordance with recommendations of different guidelines<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span>&#46; The observation period was 12 months&#44; which is the maximum period in which monotherapy with tacrolimus was maintained if no response was observed&#46; Both the probability of remission observed over time and the percentage of patients in remission after 12 months observed in our patients were very similar to those reported in previous studies with calcineurin inhibitors<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11-13</span>&#46; For these reasons&#44; the results observed in our patients could be applied to other patient groups with IMN who receive tacrolimus&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The results of our study provide the following data of clinical interest&#46; Firstly&#44; similarly to the data reported after treatment with rituximab<span class="elsevierStyleSup">19&#44;20</span>&#44; our results indicate that in patients treated with tacrolimus&#44; the reduction in the anti-PLA2R antibody titre after the start of treatment precedes the remission of proteinuria and is related to the clinical response&#46; The evidence of a progressive reduction in the antibody titre was highly predictive of remission&#44; while persistence of high titres was associated with the persistence of nephrotic syndrome&#44; with statistically significant differences in the antibody titre between patients with and without a response&#44; which were evident from the third month and they were maintained throughout the whole observation period&#46; Furthermore&#44; in patients who responded to treatment&#44; the antibody level reduction rate was associated with the speed of the clinical response&#46; Both data indicate that monitoring the anti-PLA2R antibody titre after the start of treatment is useful in clinical practice and it may have two practical implications&#46; The first is that the antibody titre reduction rate after the start of treatment may be used as an estimator of the response time&#46; The second is that the relative reduction in the antibody titre after 3 and 6 months may serve as a guide for predicting the response probability&#46; Given that the available evidence indicates that the response to treatment with tacrolimus increases progressively with the drug exposure time<span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span> and that none of the baseline clinical or biochemical characteristics allow the probability of response to treatment to be calculated&#44; in patients who show late responses&#44; a relative reduction value in the antibody titre equal to or greater than 50&#37; after 6 months may be a useful criterion when making the decision to maintain immunosuppressive therapy&#44; while the persistence of reductions lower than this figure after 6 and 9 months has to suggest a high probability of resistance to treatment&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">IMN is an antibody-mediated glomerulopathy&#46; In approximately 70&#37; of cases&#44; these antibodies are directed against the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor&#46; In 30&#37; of cases&#44; the antibodies are not identified either in their circulating form or deposited in the glomerular basement membrane&#46; The identity of antibodies in the immune deposits responsible for glomerular damage and dysfunction in these cases is at present uncertain&#46; Calcineurin inhibitors &#40;cyclosporine and tacrolimus&#41; induce downregulation of a series of cytokines synthesised by T helper cells &#40;Th1 and Th2&#41; and antigen-presenting cells&#44; particularly interleukin 2&#44; which amongst other functions is involved in the activation of B lymphocytes and the subsequent production of antibodies<span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span>&#46; This would be the key mechanism through which calcineurin inhibitor therapy induces the reduction observed in the anti-PLA2R titres and its correlation with remission&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In summary&#44; our data indicate that in patients with IMN&#44; the reduction slope in the anti-PLA2R antibody titre is significantly associated with the time until evidence of remission&#46; Furthermore&#44; the relative reduction in the anti-PLA2R antibody titre after 3 months is very sensitive and specific for predicting the response after 6 and 9 months&#44; but not after 12 months&#44; while the relative reduction in the antibody titre after 6 months has a high sensitivity and specificity for predicting the response after 9 and 12 months&#46; These data may be useful in the clinical follow-up of patients after the start of therapy and they may be particularly important in cases in which&#44; as has been recently proposed<span class="elsevierStyleSup">22&#44;23</span>&#44; we consider the anti-PLA2R antibody titre as the base for treatment decisions&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Conflicts of interest</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest related to the contents of this article&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;12536&#95;16025&#95;60651&#95;en&#95;t1&#46;125362&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="12536_16025_60651_en_t1.125362.jpg" alt="Baseline clinical and biochemical characteristics and therapeutic response "></img></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Table 1&#46;
