nairalanders,, after a kidney biopsy, i was diagnosed with Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis,,from all i have read about it on the internet, i heard it has no cure and thatt renal failure takes about 10years after diagnosis.
please is there anyone that has any ideas about this and what do i do.
I'm very sorry u are going through this at this time, with the right medical intervention u will be fine by God's Grace.
Here are some helpful tips, which I'm certain your Physician would have told u about.
1. Low or moderate protein diet (1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day)
2. Low fat diet
3. Salt-free diet
4. Fluid restriction
5. Powerful anti-inflammatory medicines to reduce the immune response
6. Medicines to treat high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and high triglyceride levels
7. Antibiotics to control infections
8. Vitamin D supplementation
9. Dialysis and finally,
10.Kidney transplantation
These treatments do not essentially cure chronic kidney disease; they are palliative treatments. Early dialysis in acute renal failure may have favourable
outcomes and bring resolution of renal failure. Best Wishes
