FSGS PrognosisFocal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is one leading cause of Nephrotic Syndrome in both adults and children, but FSGS prognosis isn’t so good as some people expect. Generally, the prognosis of FSGS is mainly decided by the FSGS treatment and patients’ own healthy condition. Today, you can get an overall understanding of the FSGS prognosis.

Individuals with FSGS have a great difference in their prognosis. The following is a detailed introduction of the prognosis according to different FSGS treatments.

The FSGS prognosis of steroid

FSGS is not an easy condition to treat. Steroids are often used to remit patients’ condition. In some cases, a course of steroid can produce a marked benefit, especially when patients have a heavy loss in their urine. However, steroid use in the long term are more likely to cause many side effects and what’s more, some patients are resistant to steroid. These two factors both can lead to a bad prognosis for FSGS patients taking steroid.

The FSGS prognosis of immunosuppressive agents

If patients fail to response to steroids, some immunosuppressive agents such as prednisone are commonly added to control patients’ condition. Clinical researches reveal that prednisone induces complete or partial remission in 40 to 80 percent of FSGS with relatively preserved renal function, but in the same time it can also cause low immunity and do noting to the damaged kidney function. Therefore, patients’ condition relapses easily.

The FSGS prognosis of Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy, a combination of advanced western technologies and traditional herbal medicine, aims to not only control patients’ condition but also repair their damaged kidney function. With the help of many herbal medicines that have a big benefit in repairing damaged tissues, Immunotherapy can enhance patients’ curative ability, regulate their immune system and transport enough blood and oxygen to the impaired kidney cells. After a period of treatment, patients’ kidney function and prognosis can be improved largely. However, it may need a relatively longer time, so you should be more patient if you want to try it.

Different treatments determine various FSGS prognosis. The most suitable rather than the best treatment is good for you, so you had better choose the correct treatment with the help of doctor.
