Remission of post-transplant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with angiotensin receptor blockers
Recurrence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is common after kidney transplantation. Plasmapheresis (PP) is considered to be the most effective treatment; however, results are variable and relapse is common after stopping plasmapheresis. Here, we report an unusual case of recurrent FSGS,...

Summary: | Recurrence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is common after kidney transplantation.
