Pearls from @GlassockJ 's terrific talk on recurrent glomerulonephritis in kidney allografts at #GlomCon:
1) Recurrence of primary FSGS is as high as 70% in allografts (when genetic and secondary causes rigorously excluded) / 1
1) Recurrence of primary FSGS is as high as 70% in allografts (when genetic and secondary causes rigorously excluded) / 1
2) Recurrent FSGS in a second allograft when the first allograft was lost from recurrent FSGS is close to 100%, can be identified early by marked proteinuria /2
3) Risk factors for FSGS in allografts include Caucasian ancestry, young age, rapid course to ESKD, steroid resistance, low albumin, mesangial hypercellularity, and requirement for native nephrectomy /3
