Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis – Current Treatment – Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis – Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (US)
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a kidney disease in which scarring occurs to the glomeruli. Although no drug therapies are approved for FSGS, physicians often prescribe RAAS inhibitors off-label to reduce proteinuria, and diuretics are commonly used to treat symptoms. Corticosteroid and immunosuppressive therapies are also considered for FSGS associated with clinical features of the nephrotic syndrome. However, owing to FSGS’s various etiologies and differences in presentation, management of the disease must be individualized. This report examines how key current therapies are being used to treat newly diagnosed and recently treated FSGS patients.
