How to treat „FSGS“? A conceptual framework

Paper No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

FSGS is a pattern of scarring in the kidney's filters that has many different underlying causes. This opinion piece argues doctors should stop treating it as one disease and instead sort patients by cause: genetic, immune, or damage from overload. It proposes a framework for choosing treatment. It reports no new patient data or results.
