Abstract
 The treatment of patients with steroid-resistant-nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is challenging. Although some case reports have suggested that rituximab could be effective in SRNS, little is known regarding appropriate therapy after the biological agent. The objective of this article is to analyze the results obtained in preliminary studies and to propose future perspectives for this drug in case of SRNS.
