Primary FSGS is not associated with worse kidney outcome compared with other FSGS subtypes
Patients with primary FSGS were biopsied earlier in their disease course and exhibited surprisingly good kidney outcome. Overall, sex, baseline eGFR, proteinuria and the degree of focal and global glomerulosclerosis play a more important role in estimating the prognosis of patients with FSGS than merely the FSGS etiology.
