FSGS is a immune related kidney disease, to date, there is no effective
treatment to deal with immune related disease. The treatments to deal with FSGS
concerns patients a lot.
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) describes scarring in scattered
regions of the kidney, typically limited to one part of the glomerulus and to a
minority of glomeruli in the affected region. FSGS may result from a systemic
disorder or it may develop as an idiopathic kidney disease, without a known
cause. Proteinuria is the most common symptom of FSGS, but, since proteinuria is
associated with several other kidney conditions, the doctor cannot diagnose FSGS
on the basis of proteinuria alone. Biopsy may confirm the presence of glomerular
scarring if the tissue is taken from the affected section of the kidney. But
finding the affected section is a matter of chance, especially early in the
disease process, when lesions may be scattered.
Confirming a diagnosis of FSGS may require repeat kidney biopsies. Arriving
at a diagnosis of idiopathic FSGS requires the identification of focal scarring
and the elimination of possible systemic causes such as diabetes or an immune
response to infection. Since idiopathic FSGS is, by definition, of unknown
cause, it is difficult to treat. No universal remedy has been found, and most
patients with FSGS progress to total kidney failure over 5 to 20 years. Some
patients with an aggressive form of FSGS reach total kidney failure in 2 to 3
years. Treatments involving steroids or other immunosuppressive drugs appear to
help some patients by decreasing proteinuria and improving kidney function. But
these treatments are beneficial to only a minority of those in whom they are
tried, and some patients experience even poorer kidney function as a result. ACE
inhibitors and ARBs may also be used in FSGS to decrease proteinuria. Treatment
should focus on controlling blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels, factors
that may contribute to kidney scarring.
The natural treatments in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital not only can
alleviate some painful symptoms, but also can improve kidney function.
