Popis: | Recurrent focal segmental glomerulosclerosis has a great impact on kidney graft survival. This retrospective study presents immunoadsorption-plasmapheresis treatment and outcome in our renal graft recipients with significant post-transplant proteinuria (>1 g/day) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in native kidneys. Recurrence was defined as occurrence of nephrotic range proteinuria or biopsy-confirmed diagnosis. Successful treatment was defined as sustained reduction of proteinuria to |
