Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- eGFR [3 months]
Kidney function
Secondary Outcome Measures
- eGFR [12 months]
Kidney function
- Urinary biomarkers [at inclusion and after3 and 12 months]
NGAL, NAG, KIM-1, TIMP-2, IGFBP7, IL-6, IL-18 and MCP-1 are the biomarkers that the investigators plan to analyze
- Pathology [At inclusion]
Re-evaluation of renal biospies performed at time of inclusion. This evaluation includes the use of routine and special staining for inflammation, fibrosis and tubular damage. The analysis includes an estimation of predictive value of histological scoring on treatment response and prognosis
- Need for renal replacement therapy [3 and 12 months]
Dialysis need
- Plasma glucose or hemoglobin A1C [3 and 12 months]
Development of diabetes (safety)
- Treatment delay [At inclusion]
In the prednisolone group the importance of "treatment delay" is analyzed. Treatment delay is defined as follows: Days form first symptoms to inclusion in this project Days from first contact to the Danish health care system to inclusion in this project Days from first contact to a nephrology department to inclusion in this project
- Infections (number of events) [3 and 12 months]
Safety
- Admissions (number of events) [3 and 12 months]
Safety
