Diagnosis	Patients (n/N)	Remission^b	Response^c	Relapse^d	Remission^b	Response^c	Relapse^d
IgA nephropathy	14/20	9	2	1	10	0	1
Minimal change disease	2/20	2	0	0	1	1	0

^a Two and three patients were excluded due to a lack of follow-up data at six months and twelve months respectively
^b Remission was defined as CDAI change from ≥ 150 or < 150 to < 150
^c Response was considered to be present if CDAI decreased by 70 or more but remained ≥ 150
^d Relapse was defined as CDAI change from < 150 to ≥ 150 or increased by 70 or more but remained ≥ 150
