An Effective Treatment for Recurrent FSGS

FSGS stands for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. When it progresses renal failure, some patients may choose kidney transplant to start their brand new life. However, the recurrent FSGS nearly breaks their hope and then they have to find an effective treatment for recurrent FSGS.

The statistic about FSGS recurrence

In most cases, FSGS is a primary disease that belongs to Nephrotic Syndrome. To control their condition, glucocorticoid or immunosuppressive agents are used commonly. However, the prognosis of FSGS isn’t so good as we expect. Most patients with persisting protein urine finally have renal failure in spite of steroid and immunosuppressive agents. In this situation, many FSGS patients pin their hope on kidney transplant. According to the research, in the first kidney allograft, 20%~30% of patients develop recurrent FSGS, and second grafts, in those who have had recurrence in their first graft, are generally accompanied by a further recurrence. For most patients, another kidney transplant is impossible because of no matched kidney donor or the high cost.

Is there an effective treatment for recurrent FSGS?

We know FSGS occurs as a consequence of glomeruli damage. As more and more kidney filtering units, glomeruli, are damaged, patients’ condition becomes worser and worser. The cause of recurrent FSGS is similar to the primary FSGS. In view of this, the best treatment for recurrent FSGS is to repair the damaged kidney and improve their kidney function.

With the joint effort of many kidney experts, an effective treatment called Immunotherapy is created. This therapy, absorbing the essence of traditional Chinese medicine and advanced western medicine, aims to purify patients’ blood, regulate their immune system and repair their damaged but not necrotic kidney cells. Once a part of kidney cells recover to work, patients’ kidney function will be increased largely so that they can live without another kidney transplant. Hopefully, you can get more than you expect from this effective treatment for recurrent FSGS.
