Prevalence, Resource Utilization, and Economic Impact of Kidney Function and Proteinuria in Patients With Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
The observed prevalence of FSGS increased in the US and was highest among Black individuals. More advanced chronic kidney disease and higher levels of proteinuria were both associated with greater health care resource utilization and costs. Treatments that reduce proteinuria and slow kidney function decline have the potential to delay disease progression and to reduce the economic burden associated with FSGS.
