What do you know about Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (or FSGS)

For patients who have Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (or FSGS), they may be

very confused as there are so little information about FSGS. Many patients even have never heard of this kind of disease. People always feel worried about the thing they are not very familiar, so I hope this article can help patients with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (or FSGS) cut away the fear caused by Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (or FSGS).
Stem Cell Therapy for FSGS Patients
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. Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (or FSGS) may result from a 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.Can FSGS Be Reversed at the Early Stage
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 Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (or FSGS) may require repeat kidney biopsies. Arriving at a diagnosis of idiopathic FSGS requires the identification of focal scarring and the elimination of possible 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 End Stage Renal Disease(ESRD) over 5 to 20 years.What Is an Alternative Treatment for FSGS Kidney Diseases Natural Treatment for FSGS Patients in ESRD
 Some patients with an aggressive form of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (or FSGS) proceed to End Stage Renal Disease(ESRD) 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 only to a minority of those in whom they are tried, and some patients experience even poorer kidney function as a result of therapy. ACE inhibitors 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.
