| Main Objective: To investigate if the addition of mycophenylate mofetil to standard therapy with tacrolimus prevents relapse of nephrotic syndrome in patients with idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis;Secondary Objective: To investigate if the addition of mycophenylate mofetil to standard therapy with tacrolimus is more effective at decreasing proteinuria and maintaining renal function.;Primary end point(s): Prevention of relapse of proteinuria on withdrawal of tacrolimus therapy, (all patients followed for at least 6 months post cessation of tacrolimus). | — |
