Overview
Several clinical and pathological factors are associated with poor renal outcome. The most important prognostic factor in FSGS is the patient's response to therapy. Proteinuria is an important predictor of spontaneous remission or progression of FSGS into ESRD. Generally, spontaneous remission is an unlikely event in FSGS; and more than 50% of patients with nephrotic-range proteinuria reach ESRD within 3-8 years. Other important prognostic factors include male gender, black race, high level of serum creatinine and collapsing variant on histopathological analysis.
