A member asked:
I have fsgs that is currently active. is surgery for my lower spine too much for my kidney's, right now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: There are at least 6 different subtypes of fsgs (focal-segmental glomerulosclerosis) that pathologists can distinguish; you have a right to know which kind and the likely outcome. It's likely to be a lifetime problem and if you need the surgery & it's okay with your physicians, this might be the best time to do it. Good luck.
