Abstract
- Posttransplant recurrence is frequent in patients who received renal transplantation for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The recurrence has been ascribed to a circulating permeability factor or factors. We have used plasmapheresis (PP) to treat recurrent FSGS and also studied whether preoperative PP is effective in preventing recurrence of FSGS.
