Kidney outcomes in children with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis from a low- and middle- income country.

In children with FSGS, response to immunosuppression predicts kidney survival as evidenced by nil to lower progression to CKD 2-5 by median follow-up of 4 (2.5,8) years in children with CR and PR, compared to those with no remission at 12 months from diagnosis. Segmental sclerosis > 25% and collapsing variant predicted progression to advanced CKD.
