Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Rituximab is a first-line treatment for membranous nephropathy. Nephrotic syndrome limits rituximab exposure due to urinary drug loss. Rituximab underdosing (serum level <2 μg/ml at month-3) is a risk factor for treatment failure. We developed a machine learning algorithm to predict the risk of underdosing based on patients' characteristics at rituximab infusion. We investigated the relationship between the predicted risk of underdosing and the cumulative dose of rituximab required to achieve remission.
