Can Prednisone Treat Protein In Urine With FSGS

FSGS refers to Focal Segmental Glomerulus Sclerosis, which is a kidney disease that can cause damage in patient’s glomeruli. While glomeruli have the function of keeping the nutrients in our body, so its damage can lead to the nutrients leaking out through urine, which is also known as proteinuria.

Proteinuria is a dangerous condition, which can aggravate patient’s kidney damage severely. In fact, there are many medicines effective in treating proteinuria, like prednisone.

What are the effects of prednisone in treating protein in urine?

Prednisone is a hormone medicine, and it can provide many obvious benefits in treating kidney disease and proteinuria.

Proteinuria is due to the increase of glomerular filtration membrane’s permeability, which is caused by the inflammatory reaction in kidney. While prednisone has the function of anti-inflammation and antianaphylaxis, which can inhibit the damage caused by inflammatory reaction. Prednisone also has the function reduce the permeability of vascular wall and cell membrane, which can reduce the leaked protein directly. Besides, prednisone also has the function of inhibiting the secretion of histamine and other toxic substances.

Can prednisone treat proteinuria caused by FSGS?

Now that prednisone can provide so many obvious benefits in treating protein in urine, can it be used to treat proteinuria caused by FSGS?

Prednisone is a medicine which is often used in treating FSGS, but FSGS is a disease which has bad reaction to hormone treatment, so prednisone may have no obvious effect if it is used in treating FSGS. In fact, FSGS is a kidney disease which is very likely to cause nephrotic syndrome, while the complete remission rate in adults of hormone treatment is about 42%, and for many patients, this treatment brings no obvious improvement to their condition.

Thereby, prednisone is a medicine which is often used in treating FSGS, but whether it has effect all depends, so it is better for patients to find other alternative treatment.

Kidney disease is life-threating, so patients should do what they can to improve their condition. If you need any help, you can also leave us a message, and we will do what we can to help you.
