What is the role of kidney transplantation in the treatment of patients with nephrotic syndrome?
Kidney transplantation is a viable option in all patients with nephrotic syndrome who progress to ESKD.
However, there is a substantial risk of recurrent disease that is in the range of 20% to 40% for patients with FSGS and MPGN.
Thus, patients who have lost more than one kidney allograft to recurrent glomerular disease are often considered ineligible for subsequent transplant procedures.
