Clinical course of the present case. a, b The patient became afebrile after pulse methylprednisolone therapy. The C-reactive protein (CRP) level decreased to within the normal range with combination therapy involving intravenous glucocorticoid and oral cyclosporine A. However, despite the treatment, the amount of ascites increased gradually and renal impairment did not improve. The CRP and serum creatinine levels were elevated on day 50, and complicated infection was suspected.
