Inclusion criteria:
Exclusion criteria: The cases who are considered inappropriate under "Guideline of ciclosporin therapy in nephrotic syndrome" or each doctor's decisions.

Age minimum: 16years-old
Age maximum: Not applicable
Gender: Male and Female
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
idiopathic membranous nephropathy associated with nephrotic syndrome
Intervention(s)
Steroid group: Immunosuppressive therapy is started by predonisolone 0.8mg/kg/day (max 60mg/day). The dose is decreased by 5mg/day in 2 to 4 weeks after remission. The cases who do not reach remission for 4 weeks, predonisolone is decreased to 0.6mg/kg/day, and ciclosporin (2mg/kg/day) is started once a day. Serum concentration of ciclosporin is measured 2hr after administration, and the dose is adjusted. (The target serum concentration is 800-1000ng/mL.)
Steroid + ciclosporin group: Immunosupressive therapy is started by predonisolone 0.6mg/kg/day and ciclosporin 2mg/kg/day (once a day). Serum concentration of ciclosporin is measured 2hr after administration, and the dose is adjusted. (The target serum concentration is 800-1000ng/mL.) The dose of predonisolone is decreased by 5mg/day in 2 to 4 weeks after remission. Ciclosporin is continued after remission. (The target C2 is 600-800 ng/mL.) The cases who do not reach remission after 4 weeks, predonisolone is decreased by 5mg/4-8week, and ciclosporin is continued for 6 months. The target C2 is 800-1000ng/mL. At 6 months after, the therapy of non-respnder is not restricted.
Primary Outcome(s)
quantity of urinary protein, frequency of relapse, renal function (serum Cr, estimated GFR),time to remission, total dose of steroid (until remission)
Secondary Outcome(s)
adverse effects of steroid and ciclosporin, total dose of steroid (in all treatment period), duration of hospitalization, serum albumin, serum total protein, serum total cholesterol, degree of edema
