A member asked:
I have fsgs with nephrotic syndrome. is it posible to cure ?, if not what is the best way to manage it?

Some have remission: Primary fsgs is typically treated initially with high dose steroids. If no response other agents are added such as Cyclosporine or tacrolimus . Many patients have significant improvement in urine protein levels. Additionally ace inhibitors and statins are added. Weight loss, low sodium diet and a low protein diet are important. A portion of patients will go into remission.

No cure, but. . .: Talk to your nephrologist about ways to manage it. There may be a research study for you to consider as well.
