FSGS, 29 years old, High Creatinine 4.0, Kidney Function 18%
Q: My daughter, Sandra Yingst, 29 years of age has Focal Segmental Glomerulonephritis (FSGS) kidney disease, since 1993. Her creatinine is around 4.0 and the kidney function is about 18%.
A: 
thank you for your message about your daughter’s medical condition. I make a rough analysis and offer some general suggestions for her. But I prefer that you can send me her medical report to kidneyservice@hotmail.com, so personalized advices can be applied.
Treatment options
FSGS is a chronic and complex kidney disease. It tends to attack teenagers and young guys. I can see your daughter was found to have it as her 19 years old. It happens to her teenager age. As she has lived with this disease for around 10 years, you must know that Dialysis will be recommended in future. When her creatinine level is around 5.0 or her GFR is around 10, dialysis may be suggested.
However, dialysis is rarely to be get rid off. It is a sustaining-life therapy. She is only 29, can imagine she has to live with a cold machine in her rest life? I hope you can find more alternative options, such Micro-Chinese Medicine or Immunotherapy. Both of the two treatments claim to repair the scarred kidney tissues and improve kidney function. As long as your daughter can keep a higher kidney function levels, dialysis will not be a must.
